Running a local agent as a different user

[Tryggvi Hákonarson]

I'm setting up a build server with different local agents for build and deployment. 

For security reasons, I want to have different users running the local agents.
Different users with different access to various systems.

Can I assign different users to local agents?

Hi @Tryggvi Hákonarson

If you are referring to the user running the agent process, that is only possible for remote agents. Remote agents have a dedicated process to run which is not what happens with local ones. Local agents are threads started from the Bamboo server and they run with the user who started the Bamboo server process.

I hope that answers your question.
