EDR: Can EDR Server File And Folder Permissions Be Changed That Will Still Allow The Application To Operate?

Environment

  • EDR Server: All Versions

Question

Can EDR Server file and folder permissions be changed that will still allow the application to operate?

Answer

File and folder permissions should never be changed on the EDR Server; defaults set when installed should be kept.

Additional Notes

  • If any permissions are changed, the system will try to revert the changes during the next services restart.
  • The /var/run/postgresql directory should also not be touched, as postgres can be prevented from starting if this directory is altered in any way.
