Is it possible to run the oneagent start/stop command as this user and does it have sufficient privileges to execute other 'operational' functions required? I'm hoping we dont have to switch to root for this.</P><P>Thanks </P><BR /> Mon, 16 Jul 2018 23:35:56 GMT jonathan_porter 2018-07-16T23:35:56Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Running-commands-as-dtuser/m-p/82042#M4917 <P>I understand the dtuser account is created without a password and has limited capabilities set.

This is not OneAgent specific however, such a behavior is standard for services installed on Linux as the system services management requires root privileges.</P><P>Regards,<BR />Tomasz</P><BR /> Tue, 17 Jul 2018 05:05:05 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Running-commands-as-dtuser/m-p/82043#M4918 Tomasz_Gajger 2018-07-17T05:05:05Z
