I know that services shouldn't be run as root, and most applications already define their own users upon installation (e.g., FreeSWITCH creates a freeswitch user, and systemd starts the service as so).
There may be more services with their own users and their configuration files are owned by them. I was wondering what the recommended way is to handle these with one user, without having to log in as all these different users (or with root)?
For example,
- my local user is
toraritte - the remote user I use to log in is
myadmin - using Midnight Commander to access remote files via shell link; can traverse the file system, but can't edit files of the
freeswitchuser
I think the answer to my question is this thread (i.e., creating an admin group, add all relevant users to it, and adjust permissions if necessary), but not a 100% sure - or if there is something else to look out for in this scenario. Thank you!
