Defining “Non-Root User”

Zixi includes some settings that modify the operating system settings on the host machine (e.g. networking settings, etc.). Modifying these settings requires Zixi Broadcaster to have “Root user” (the highest) access privileges on the machine. However, once these settings have been defined, Zixi Broadcaster does not need these high level access privileges anymore and it is recommended to change the access privileges to a non-root user.      

The following settings cannot be modified after changing the access privileges. Make sure you do not need to modify any of these settings:

• Settings > Network.
• Settings > SSH Connections
• Settings > ASI

To define non-root user privileges:

1. Open the ‘cat /etc/systemd/system/zixibc.service’ startup script.
2. Modify the ‘user=’ to a non-root user.
