<![CDATA[Action Configuration]]>Question about action configuration.  Im running netxms on a debian server and i was playing around with (Execute command on managment server)  I noticed that all commands run using this option are run as root.  I tested with a simple "touch /opt/testfile.txt"  How does netxms run these commands under root if there is no credentials given for the root user

Thanks

You can see that by issuing

ps aux | grep netxmsd

If netxms is installed from packages on Debian, it install systemd startup script and from there it runs under root.
