While installing OneAgent a User: Dtuserag is created, what is its purpose? In Docs it is mentioned for security purposes. Can anyone please help me to understand this?

Hi @Vikas_g1997 ,

So Dynatrace creates a user group and the user "dtuser" out of the box which will have predefined permission which will have access to fetch the data and write the logs to respective folders created by Dynatrace. The following document would be able to share some light on the dtuser:
