Couchbase service user

Couchbase Server

Is it possible to configure the Couchbase service (and all processes) to use a user other then the LSA one?
What are the minimum resource permissions required?

I’m far from a linux administration expert, but have you tried a non-root installation? https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/install/ubuntu-debian-install.html

I’m on Windows Server 2016 / 2019.

We prefer that all Couchbase processes would run under minimal required privileges.
If you tell me that the System user is the minimum we can go… I’ll live with it…

@alon.schachter,

Ah, I assumed LSA was Linux System Administrator for some reason.

I’m afraid I still need an answer for this one.
I created a user, gave it the “Log on as service” policy right.
Gave it write permissions to the Couchbase folder.

Is this enough?
