Linode does not provide superuser access to PostgreSQL Managed Databases. As such, some extensions may not function properly or may otherwise encounter permissions issues. Extensions that are known not to work, such as `adminpack`, have been marked as incompatible in the list below. If you encounter an extension that isn't working as expected due to permissions issues, our team can review the extension. Reach out to [Support] with the extension name, the name of the database for which you wish to use the extension, and your use case.
