Hello Michael,
we start our SM and agents always non-privileged! Starting the Unix Agent with root privileges should be working as described in number 2 of the Overview in
AE-Documentation -> Installing the Agent for UNIX
It's not tested by me!
Bye

Subject: Service Manager started via Root - Security risks?
Dear Community,
are there any known risks for starting the service manager with root privileges?
Is there a possibility to start the service manager with non-root privileges which will then start a Unix Agents (with root privileges)?
