We should follow eg1. I checked few examples where we follow same
pattern as eg1:

Example-1: (See: "Tables from schemas")
postgres=# \dRp+ pub1
Publication pub1
Owner | All tables | All sequences | Inserts | Updates | Deletes |
Truncates | Generated columns | Via root | Description
-------+------------+---------------+---------+---------+---------+-----------+-------------------+----------+-------------
amit | f | f | t | t | t | t
| none | f |
Tables from schemas:
"sch1"

Example-2: ((See: "No connections")
postgres=# create user u1 CONNECTION LIMIT 0;
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# \du u1
List of roles
Role name | Attributes
-----------+----------------
u1 | No connections
