Removing user used for client deployment

Usage and Config BFI

Hello.

We are planning to deploy BigFix clients (from Windows console to AIX, Linux systems) using Client Deploy Tool Wizard method. We are planning to deploy ILMT on top of it.

As required we would create new local users on all target systems with sudo priviledges (as described here https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQL82_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Installation/c_using_the_cdt1.html )

Can this local user be removed after deployment? Will the installed client run as root or as this new user?

The installed client runs as root, you can remove the temporary user account (or use an existing permanent account instead for the deployment)
