3. Grant elevated permissions to the acc user, enabling access to your java installation directories, for example:  
   * /usr/lib/jvm/\*/bin/java
   * /usr/lib/jvm/\*/\*/bin/java
   {#acc-file-based-discovery__ul_ph5_wwp_cfc}

   You can add additional java directories during java installation, as needed.  
   * In a Linux environment, grant elevated permissions in the /etc/sudoers file to enable access to the java installation directories.
   * In a Windows environment, grant elevated permissions (read and execute) via the system administrator to enable access to the java installation directories.
