 Description   

This doesn't say anything if we want to install the agent as a different user. By default it would create mongodb-mms-agent user. What if I want to use a different user?

Thank you for opening a DOCS ticket.

After reviewing your request with our engineers, we can confirm that the documentation accurately captures the feature's functionality.

In this case, you may change the OS user for the backup agent executable once it is installed. The installation script sets the initial owner of the backup agent. The method to change ownership would depend upon your operating system.

Thank you again for your patience,
