    Support for running DataPower containers as root user has been added for special use cases like SSH/SFTP.

    By default, DataPower containers run as a non-root user. However, there are certain features within DataPower that require root privileges, such as SSH and SFTP. To allow these features to work, the DataPower container must be run as root user.
    As a best practice, workloads which need root privilege should be isolated from the rest. For example, if a single Multi-Protocol Gateway (MPGW) service in DataPower relies on SFTP, then it should be deployed in a separate DataPowerService instance running as root user. All other services which do not require root privilege should be deployed in a different DataPowerService which runs using default security constraints.
