Control-M Agent supports the following modes when running jobs in UNIX:
Use the set_agent_mode utility to enable root, non-root and Sudo mode of Control-M/Agent on UNIX. The utility changes the permissions of several agent files and directories to allow the agent to work in the mode that is selected. This utility must be run by the root user and only needs to be run once to set a mode. To run the set_agent_mode utility, see Running the set_agent_mode utility.
Each time the agent is started (or restarted) continues to use the mode that was set until such time that the mode is changed. For more information about the modes, see set_agent_mode options.
When Control-M/Agent is started by the agent owner user, only jobs where the agent owner is the user can be run. To run jobs with different users, define the passwords of the users and then use the set_agent_mode utility to enable non-root mode. Both actions must be performed to allow jobs to be submitted.
For more information about how to define the passwords of the users, see Control-M/Agent security or ctmsetown.
