SnapCenter uses Run As credentials to authenticate users for SnapCenter operations. You should create Run As credentials for installing SnapCenter plug-ins and additional Run As credentials for performing data protection operations on databases or Windows file systems.
You must set up Run As credentials for installing plug-ins on Linux hosts.
You must set up the Run As credentials for the root user or for a non-root user who has sudo privileges to install and start the plug-in process.
Best Practice: Although you are allowed to create Run As credentials for Linux after deploying hosts and installing plug-ins, the best practice is to create Run As credentials after you add SVMs, before you deploy hosts and install plug-ins.

You must set up Windows Run As credentials before installing plug-ins.
You must set up the Run As credentials with administrator privileges, including administrator rights on the remote host.
The plug-in uses the Run As credentials that are selected or created while adding a resource. If a resource does not require Run As credentials during data protection operations, you can set the Run As credentials as None.
If you set up Run As credentials for individual resource groups and the username does not have full admin privileges, you must assign at least the resource group and backup privileges to the username.
After you finish setting up the Run As credentials, you might want to assign Run As credential maintenance to a user or group of users on the My SnapCenter Assets page.
