Operation on Linux without root privileges

By default, the CODESYS Control SL runtime runs on Linux in user space without root privileges, under a dedicated unprivileged user/group. Functions requiring elevated privileges are handled by the separate CODESYS PrivilegeProxy for Linux product, which requires root privileges. This is the default behavior; if required, operation can be configured differently (e.g. with root privileges). CODESYS PrivilegeProxy for Linux and CODESYS Control SL must always be used in the same version.
