Unable to start metricbeat

I am trying to start up metricbeat and I see the below error

"log.level":"debug","@timestamptimestamp":"2025-10-10T08:00:01.260-0400","log.logger":"system.process","log.origin":{"function":"``github.com/elastic/elastic-agent-system-metrics/metric/system/process``.(Stats).pidIter","file.name":"process/process.go","file.line":221},"message":"non* fatal error; reporting partial metrics: /io unavailable; if running inside a container, use SYS_PTRACE: error fetching IO metrics: open /proc/48825/io: permission denied**","service.name":"metricbeat","ecs.version":"1.6.0.version":"1.6.0"}

I am starting the service as application user. I do not have root access on this machine.

How can I fix this error ?
