Oracle recommends that you do not install, configure, and run EPM System products using the root user.
- For each UNIX server, prepare a user account (not the root). Install and configure as the same user for all EPM System products.
- If you are using Oracle Application Server, you must install and configure EPM System products using the same user you used to install Oracle Application Server.
- If you have installed any other Oracle products, the user that will be installing EPM System products must be part of the same group as the user who installed the other Oracle products. For example, both users must be part of oinstall. If you are upgrading EPM System products, follow this requirement even if you used multiple users to install components in previous releases.
