User Privileges for deploying the CCS components

The CCS infrastructure supports multiple deployments of the product components. Every component such as the CCS Application Server, the CCS Manager and the CCS Agent comprises of the services that are a part of the deploying component. To install the components successfully, you require specific permissions and privileges. Besides, you must also configure the user accounts with specific privileges to run the services that are a part of the components. The user in which context the product component is installed need not necessarily be a regular user of the component. Sometimes, the user might need to have higher permissions and privileges than the regular user.
