Agent User Configuration

Once you've installed the DataSync Agent, you can configure which user the agent should run as.

You can do this by editing the bin/agent file and set the RUN_AS_USER= directive.

This directive is commented out by default. In order to set it, remove the leading # and then enter the name of the user following the 'RUN_AS_USER' directive.

For example, to configure the user 'perspectium' your entry would look like the following:

RUN_AS_USER=perspectium

The user that you configure must be a valid user within the system running your Agent and it must have permission to read and write to the directories containing the Agent.
