In SCOM 2016 you are able to select a RunAs account, which will be used for deployment. Actually the UNIX/Linux Agent Maintenance Account and the UNIX/Linux Action Account credentials will be used for discovery and installation of the agent.

This a very convenient for deploying a large amount of agents, so you don’t have to provide the credentials all the time. Nice!
