Normally, the privileges of the
<systemitem class="username">root
</systemitem> user are needed to send and receive streams. This requires logging in to the receiving system as
<systemitem class="username">root
</systemitem>. However, logging in as
<systemitem class="username">root
</systemitem> is disabled by default for security reasons. The
<link linkend="zfs-zfs-allow">ZFS Delegation
</link> system can be used to allow a non-
<systemitem class="username">root
</systemitem> user on each system to perform the respective send and receive operations.
