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.
Note that, on Windows, running Bitbucket Server (whether as a service, or not) as a user that is part of the Administrator group can cause Windows to spend a lot of time running permission checks, with a consequent performance impairment for Git operations.
See also Running Bitbucket Server as a Windows service and Running Bitbucket Server as a Linux service.
For Linux, here is an example of how to create a dedicated user to run Bitbucket Server:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/useradd --create-home --home-dir /opt/atlassian/bitbucket --shell /bin/bash atlbitbucketOn Windows, the user must be a member of the Performance Monitor Users group.
