Service
The service role does not have direct access to the CLI. Service account users are logged directly
into a bash shell. Use this account for support and troubleshooting purposes only. Unauthorized
modifications are not supported and will require the sensor to be reimaged to guarantee proper
operation. You can create only one user with the service role.
When you log in to the service account, you receive the following warning:
