linux service account permissions

A question from a customer. They are integrating linux resources into SPP and are considering this KB: What sudo permissions are required on Linux/Unix assets in Safeguard? (4256268)

Nowhere is it mentioned that the service account needs to access /etc/shadow, but it can be seen that without being able to do that check the TestConnection failed. After assigning permission to access that path, the TestConnection succeeds.

They are asking why this is necessary and where they can find documentation about it to get all the details.

Thank you very much
