In a complex application integration environment, many systems and software
configurations require user accounts that assign specific permissions.
Before installing InterChange Server, plan for the user accounts that you will
need. Table 10 lists the user accounts required.
Several of the installation steps require root privilege; that is, they must be performed by the root user. The root user account is the UNIX system administration account with the highest privilege levels. To become root requires the password for the root user account. Therefore, the password to this account is usually tightly controlled by the UNIX system administrator.
This System Installation Guide for Unix assumes that the root password is not available to the WebSphere business integration administrator (the person who installs the WebSphere business integration system). Pre-installation administration tasks, describes the tasks that must be performed by someone with root privileges (usually the UNIX system administrator). The rest of the installation procedures, described throughout this document, do not require root privileges.
