Hi all,
This might be a stupid question but customer asks why cvlt requires root/admin privilege on each platform for installation and operation.
Anyone who can articulate this briefly in technical perspective?
Thanks.

Software can be installed as a non-root user but Commvault is fully installed within that user's home directory and runs as that user.
Documentation: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/1869_installation_of_unix_agents_by_non_root_user.html
Essentially the Commvault Processes/Services need to interface with the OS/Applications/Modules on the Server and launch processes for the necessary CV related operations/jobs, etc. - To do this we need to “run as” a user/root.
