Solution

The Pipelines agent is in the /distelli directory. To change the runtime user for the Pipelines agent before you install the agent, change the owner of that folder on the node where you’re installing it.

1. On the node you are installing the Pipelines agent on, create the /distelli directory.

2. Change the owner of the /distelli directory to the desired user.

3. Install the agent using the steps in our documentation.

The agent’s runtime will be the user that owns the /distelli directory during installation.
