    I am wondering if there is a way to configure NX Server on Linux (RHEL 7/8) to not require any privileged access for running the server side processes.  I know that root privileges are required to install the app and configure and run the systemd service.  I am interested in the application ideally running as a defined account.   I know that in the configuration in my current environment (managed by another admin group) operates such that when the nxexec process runs when a user connects is run as root.  What configuration governs that root privilege for that nxexec process to run as root?  Are there files in the NX installation tree that are required to be

    I am asking this because we are seeking to reduce the privileged access required to administer and run applications.
