Run Scylla and supporting services as a custom user:group
=========================================================
**Topic: Planning and setup**
By default, Scylla runs as user ``scylla`` in group ``scylla``. The following procedure will allow you to use a custom user and group to run Scylla.
1. Create the new user and update file permissions
.. code-block:: sh
useradd test
groupadd test
usermod test -G test
chown -R test:test /var/lib/scylla
2. Edit ``/etc/sysconfig/scylla-server`` and change the USER and GROUP
.. code-block:: sh
USER=test
GROUP=test
3. Edit ``/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/scylla-server.service``
.. code-block:: sh
User=test
4. Edit ``/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/node-exporter.service``
.. code-block:: sh
User=test
Group=test
5. Edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/scylla-jmx.service
.. code-block:: sh
User=test
Group=test
6. Reload the daemon settings and start Scylla and node_exporter
.. code-block:: sh
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start scylla-server
systemctl start node-exporter
At this point, all services should be started as test:test user:
.. code-block:: sh

test 8765 1 12 14:42 ? 00:00:01 /opt/scylladb/jmx/symlinks/scylla-jmx -Xmx256m ...
