By default, Redis Enterprise Software is installed with the user:group `redislabs:redislabs`. See [Access control]({{< relref "/operate/rs/security/access-control" >}}) for user and group security information.
By default, Redis Enterprise Software is installed with the user:group `redislabs:redislabs`.

During installation, you can specify the user and group that own all Redis Enterprise Software processes.

If you specify the user only, then installation is run with the primary group that the user belongs to.
## Considerations

{{< note >}}
- Custom installation user is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
- When you install with custom directories, the installation does not run as an RPM file.
- You must create the user and group before attempting to install Redis Software.

- You must create the user and group before installing Redis Enterprise Software.

- You must install Redis Enterprise Software on all nodes in the cluster with the same user and group.

- You can specify an LDAP user as the installation user.
{{< /note >}}

To customize the user or group during [installation]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/install-on-linux" >}}), include the `--os-user` or `--os-group` [command-line options]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/install-script" >}}) when you run the `install.sh` script. For example:
- If you specify the user only, then installation is run with the primary group that the user belongs to.

## Install with custom user or group

To customize the user or group during [installation]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/install-on-linux" >}}), include the `--os-user` or `--os-group` [command-line options]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/install-script" >}}) when you run the `install.sh` script.

```sh
sudo ./install.sh --os-user <user> --os-group <group>
```
