The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

The zimbra user is the system user under which most of the ZCS processes run. This user is created by the installer, and need not be pre-created by the administrator.

If you have already created the zimbra user, make sure that the following things are correct:

  • the home directory must be set to /opt/zimbra
  • the shell must be set to bash
  • the primary group must be zimbra
