  • Highest privilege the IG system account.

  • Least priviledge for specific accounts, on a case-by-case basis

  • No priviledge for all other accounts, by default

Change the base location of the IG configuration

By default, the base location for IG configuration files is in the following directory:

  • Linux

  • Windows

$HOME/.openig

  • Linux
