Running Bitbucket Server with a dedicated user

For production installations, we recommend that you create a new dedicated user that will run Bitbucket Server on your system. This user:

  • Should be local.
  • Should not have admin privileges.
  • Should be a non-privileged user with read, write, modify and execute access (called "Full control" permission on Windows) on the Bitbucket Server install directory and home directory.
