+ Beginning this agent version, SSM Agent will create a local
user "ssm-user" and either add it to /etc/sudoers (Linux) or
to the Administrators group (Windows) every time the agent
starts. The ssm-user is the default OS user when a Session
Manager session is started, and the password for this user is
reset on every session. You can change the permissions by
moving the ssm-user to a less-privileged group or by changing
the sudoers file. The ssm-user is not removed from the system
when SSM Agent is uninstalled.
