## Source server permissions
<a name="prereqs-domain"></a>

A domain user with local admin permissions to the in-scope source servers targeted for migration is required for Windows and Linux (sudo permissions) servers. If source servers are not in a domain, other users may be used, including an LDAP user with sudo/administrator permissions or a local sudo/administrator user. Before launching this solution, verify that you have the necessary permissions or have coordinated with the appropriate person in your organization with permissions.
