SE and non-root privileges

Hi All

I found that the SYMCLI command (TimeFinder) can be execute from non-root account.
I would like to know it is working fine and I will have no problem in the future.
I have experience with solution enabler, but a little bit

thanks for reply

it works fine without requiring elevated privileges. I would just make sure that whatever account is being used has Os level privileges to execute those commands typically located in /opt/emc/SYMCLI/V6.5.1/bin/ on Linux ...as well as read and write privileges to
/var/symapi/log. If you have problems with native permissions you could setup sudo and allow only a certain subset of commands to be executed with root like privileges.

Older versions had strong requirements (since commands opened directly required gatekeepers, thus needing root privileges). Since S.E. 6.x storapi daemons (that run as root) will handle gatekeeper management and symcli commands shouldn't need root privileges anymore. :D

Very thanks.

I think it will be working good, I hope ;-)
