This is useful in organizations that limit `root` access on Linux or macOS systems, or `admin` access on Windows systems.

= Run {agent} without administrative privileges

preview::[]

Beginning with {stack} version 8.15, {agent} is no longer required to be run by a user with superuser privileges. You can now run agents in an `unprivileged` mode that does not require `root` access on Linux or macOS, or `admin` access on Windows. Being able to run agents without full administrative privileges is often a requirement in organizations where this kind of access is often very limited.

In general, agents running without full administrative privileges will perform and behave exactly as those run by a superuser. There are certain integrations and datastreams that are not available, however. If an integration requires root access, this is <<unprivileged-integrations,indicated on the integration main page>>.
