Does anyone know if this software requires System Administrator or elevated privileges to run?  Not to install, to run?

Hi thanks for the feedback.  I knew I would need elevated privilege for install but I am wondering if this app requires a system account with elevated privileges to run, it looks to be packet sniffer type app so I think it will but I am unsure.  I need to verify this before I get permission to put it on my network.

Hi @alipach ,

In Splunk if you wanted to run any application you have to install first.

Yes you will require power or admin role to install any App or Add-on.
