+  <para>
+   You must own the operator class to use <command>ALTER OPERATOR CLASS</command>.
+   To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
+   owning role, and that role must have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on
+   the operator class's schema.  (These restrictions enforce that altering the
+   owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the
+   operator class.  However, a superuser can alter ownership of any operator
+   class anyway.)
