Agent User Account Privileges

Agents can run with low-privilege user accounts. You should create a group and a service user account on the target host before you install an agent. You will specify the user name during the agent installation, and the install program sets the permissions appropriately. On Linux systems, the agent user owns all of the agent binaries, except for the watchdog binary which the root user owns.
