How to run linux command with non root user

[Anon Anon]

There is a shell script on nolio agent and need a non-root user to execute it. Since, agent runs command with root user privileges, is there a way to execute a particular command with a non-root user?

[Michael Gebhardt]

did you try to go to the settings tab of the action and change the executing user there?

Yeah I tried and when I tried to run the process, the action couldn't be initiated.

Hi Imran,

The requirements that Jacky mentioned should definitely be done first. They can be found here:

Deploy Agents - CA Release Automation - 6.1 - CA Technologies Documentatio

 

If you experience problems after going through the requirements above then feel free to post here but also have a look at the KB article below since it lists several problems/solutions:
