SnapCenter uses Run As credentials to authenticate users for SnapCenter operations. You should create Run As credentials for installing the plug-in package and additional Run As credentials for performing data protection operations on databases.
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.

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.
