Linux Based Platform Files and Permissions
After you install the Endpoint Operations Management agent, the owner is the user that installs the agent.
The installation directory and le permissions such as 600 and 700, are set to the owner when the user who
installs the Endpoint Operations Management agent extracts the TAR le or installs the RPM.
N When you extract the ZIP le, the permissions might not be correctly applied. Verify and ensure that
the permissions are correct.
All the les that are created and wrien to by the agent are given 700 permissions with the owner being the
user who runs the agent.
