User and group for Vector

[n0usl3ss]

Hi, I'm in the process of rebuilding a server that had Vector on it. The service requires a Vector user and a Vector group to run. How do I add them? OS: Ubuntu 22.

Hello, how did you install Vector? See documentation here: https://vector.dev/docs/administration/management/#linux
