A UNIX user must be created to execute the installation and run the 
instance. Preferably create the user mzadmin, which is referenced throughout this document.
Note!
The mzadmin user must have read/write permissions for all the directories stated in the Environment Variables.
It is not recommended to use root as mzadmin, since this will make troubleshooting difficult.
For security reasons, ensure that the read/write permissions for $MZ_HOME directory and sub-folders are given only to authorized users or user groups to prevent unauthorized access to any of the system files.
During the installation procedure, the default application user, mzadmin, is automatically created - note that this is not related to the OS user or the DB user. You cannot create or use other application users than this default user until after the installation is complete.
should always be administrated by users belonging to the access groups created in . See Access Controller for more information on how to create users and access groups.

See System Requirements for more information.
