Give a non-root user permissions for files and directories so that the non-root user can create a profile for the product. The non-root user can also augment a profile that was created by a root user, a different non-root user, or the same non-root user.
Overall, non-root users are limited in being able to create and use profiles in their environment. Within the Profile Management tool plugin, unique names and port values are disabled for non-root users. The non-root user must change the default field values in the Profile Management tool for the profile name, node name, cell name, and port assignments. Consider assigning non-root users a range of values for each of the fields. You can assign responsibility to the non-root users for adhering to their proper value ranges and for maintaining the integrity of their own definitions.
For further details, read the detailed information on creating profiles for non-root users, which includes the steps to complete the preceding task examples, in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Information Center.
As an installer, you can also grant permissions for a non-root user to augment profiles. For example, a non-root user can augment a profile that is created by an installer, or augment a profile that he creates. Follow the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment non-root user augmentation process to complete these tasks.
When a non-root user augments a profile that he creates, the non-root user must modify the permissions for the documents that are located within the eXtreme Scale profile templates.
