title: Ownership
parent: FAQ

# Which user owns the installed plugins?
If you run `./configure` `--with-user=nagios`, then at `make` `install` time,
the installation will set the ownership of the plugins to the nagios user
(similarly for `--with-group`). If these options are not set, the plugins
will be installed with the install user's owner and group permissions - it is
your responsibility to set other permissions, if required.
The only exception are root plugins. These are under `plugins-root/` and are
also installed with the install user's owner and group permissions.
If you run:
$ make install-root
This will set permissions to root, assuming you are either root or using
fakeroot. If not, the setuid bit is still set, but the plugin may not work
correctly. This is the behaviour used by coreutils for the `su` binary and is
duplicated in this project.
