+  <para>
+   <command>ALTER SERVER</command> changes the definition of a foreign
+   server.  The first form changes the server version string or the
+   generic options of the server (at least one clause is required).
+   The second form changes the owner of the server.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   To alter the server you must be the owner of the server.
+   Additionally to alter the owner, you must own the server and also
+   be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role, and you must
+   have <literal>USAGE</literal> privilege on the server's foreign-data
+   wrapper.  (Note that superusers satisfy all these criteria
+   automatically.)
