Least Privilege Operation Mode for FlexNet Inventory Agent on Unix platforms
IT Asset Management version 2022 R2.4
Previously, when the FlexNet Inventory Agent was installed on a UNIX-like system, the
entire agent had to run as root
and requires full root access. This
could cause traceability issues or security issues to some users.
From this release, you can choose to install the FlexNet Inventory Agent into either of
the following two operation modes:
- Default operation mode: The installed agent will run as
the
root
user and requires fullroot
access. - Least privilege operation mode: The installed agent will
run as the
flxrasvc
standard user.
This feature is only available for the third-party deployment but not for the adoption case.
