Hi All,

I tried installing metricbeat to my server where IBM MQ is also running, now when I try to start metricbeat using command line . It throws below error

```
[user@host:/home/user/metricbeat-7.10.0-linux-x86_64]$ ./metricbeat
ksh: ./metricbeat: 0403-006 Execute permission denied

```

Can't I run metricbeat without root access?

I guess that would depend somewhat on the modules/config you have enabled.
