Sisense services run only as part of the Sisense user and will not use Root user permissions. The Sisense application is installed as a Kubernetes namespace with about 30 microservices. The services run as the Sisense User - ID - 1000.
For deploying Sisense on a 3rd party cloud provider's Kubernetes (EKS / AKS / GKE / OpenShift), Sisense requires a Sudo to Root on the bastion machine during the installation.
During the installation, Sisense requires an Administrator role on the cluster. After the installation, the user's role can be reduced.
Monitoring
Monitoring and logging use optional infrastructure components such as Grafana, Prometheus, FluentD, and Metric bit. Some of them require the Root user, but they are optional and can be turned off if necessary.
