On AIX, which type of user account must be used to install Content Platform Engine?
IBM's Content Platform Engine installation documentation for AIX (and other UNIX platforms) requires that the installation be performed by the root user, or by a user account that has su access to root, because the installer must perform privileged operations such as creating system-level directories, setting file and directory permissions/ownership, and configuring OS resource limits (e.g., fsize and nofiles) that are needed for full-text indexing, video transcription, and thumbnail generation features. A standard OS user without root or su-to-root privileges cannot complete these required installation steps.
