By default, on nodes with a Windows operating system, both HTTPS and DCE agents run under the Local System account, which is built-in to Windows. If necessary, you can configure agents to run under a different user account. For HTTPS agents, you change the user after you install the agent. For DCE agents, you change the user in the installation defaults on the management server before you install the agent.
The agent starts automatic or operator-initiated commands under the user account that the agent itself is currently running under. However, you can configure an HTTPS agent to start commands under a different user account.
