See:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/sql-createview.html
In particular: "Access to tables referenced in the view is determined by
permissions of the view owner."

And:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/ddl-rowsecurity.html
"Superusers and roles with the BYPASSRLS attribute always bypass the row
security system when accessing a table. Table owners normally bypass row
security as well, though a table owner can choose to be subject to row
security with ALTER TABLE ... FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY."

HTH,
