# Prowlarr [Prowlarr](https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr) is a music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. > When application is installed, a container will be launched with **root** privileges. > This is required in order to apply the correct permissions to the `Prowlarr` directories. > Afterward, the `Prowlarr` container will run as a **non**-root user (Default: `568`). > All mounted storage(s) will be `chown`ed only if the parent directory does not match the configured user.
