Plug-ins at run time

Agents that are installed in the target environment run build processes. For a process to run, the agent must have access to all resources, tools, and files that are required by the plug-in steps that the process uses. When you install an agent, ensure that these conditions are met:

• The agent that runs the process has the required user permissions to run commands and access required resources. This permission status typically entails these actions:

  • Granting permissions if an external tool is installed as a different user
  • Installing the agent as a service
  • Impersonating the appropriate user

• External tools that plug-in steps require are installed in the target environment.

• The required minimum versions of external tools are installed.
