Root user access is supported.
Non-root user access with sudo access control is supported.
Non-root user access without sudo is not supported.
Running collection with a sudo user on a Linux server requires the addition of an access control command for the server in the Host Discovery and Collection's Manage Access Control window: Admin > Data Collection > Host Discovery and Collection
Also, an advanced parameter must be created: FA_USE_SUDO set to Y.
