During installation, Agent proposes to install under 2 different built-in accounts: Local Service and Local System. What is the difference from Agent standpoint? Can I run Agent under user account?

LocalSystem is the most privileged account on the computer, has unlimited access to the computers resources and acts as the computer on the network.

LocalService account is far less privileged on the local computer, and on network acts as an Anonymous user. This limited access can safeguard the system, but is not good if you plan to access network resources.
