As far as I can tell, triggers run as the user performing the
operation which fires the trigger, not as the owner of the table.
Can anyone provide an example of a trigger running as the table
owner?  Is there a bug here?  Something for the docs?
Test case (slightly modified) in runnable format, rather than a
copy/paste of a run:
create user bob;
create user ted;
--
set role bob;
create table t (id int not null primary key, val text);
create table s (id int not null primary key, val text not null);
grant select, insert, update, delete on t to ted;
grant select on s to ted;
create function t_ins_func() returns trigger language plpgsql as
$$
begin raise notice 'role = ''%''', current_user; if new.val is not null then   insert into s (id, val) values (new.id,
new.val);end if; return new;
 
end;
$$;
create trigger t_ins_trig before insert on t for each row execute procedure t_ins_func();
--
reset role; set role ted;
insert into t values (1, null);
select * from s;
select * from t;
insert into t values (2, 'two');
