     + Beginning this agent version, SSM Agent will create a local user
       "ssm-user" and either add it to /etc/sudoers (Linux) or to the
       Administrators group (Windows) every time the agent starts. The
       ssm-user is the default OS user when a Session Manager session is
       started, and the password for this user is reset on every session. You
       can change the permissions by moving the ssm-user to a less-privileged
       group or by changing the sudoers file. The ssm-user is not removed
       from the system when SSM Agent is uninstalled.
