Configure the Sudo User Account for Data Aggregator (Optional)

Before you install Data Aggregator, log in as the root user. However, in some environments, unrestricted root user access is not available. If root user access is not available, a sudo user with access to a limited set of commands can install and run the software.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the computer where you want to install Data Aggregator as the root user.
2. Add the following command alias to the command alias section of the /etc/sudoers file:

   Cmnd_Alias CA_DATAAGG = /tmp/installDA.bin, /etc/init.d/dadaemon, /opt/IMDataAggregator/uninstall
   
   ## Allows the Data Aggregator user to manage the Data Aggregator
   
   dasudouser_name ALL = CA_DATAAGG
   

   This command alias details the commands that the sudo user must be able to run.

   The sudo user account is configured.
