User permissions

Arc collects a diverse set of information from the hosting machine, and can take control of the network interfaces. To grant full functionality, Administration/root permissions are needed.

To collect system and network data, Arc requires administrative or root permissions on the host system. These permissions enable full control of network interfaces and ensure complete functionality.
