Re: Settings.xml not being recognized by Continuum
Continuum is running as a service, but there's always a user associated with it. On Windows, your service is probably running as Local Service which means the user is Administrator. Or you can specify the user in the Services configuration. On Linux, the service is probably owned by root, unless you've set up a local user and group to own/run the service (which is a good practice).

Re: Settings.xml not being recognized by Continuum
Yes, I didn't quite go this far in my email but its really a good idea to set up local user accounts with very limited functionality for each product/service and then install services and have them run under that account. Then if we discover a root exploit in Continuum, you don't really have to worry too much about your entire server getting compromised and losing all your data since the damage would be limited to only the data your Continuum instance has access to. This is a best practice on any operating system for a server.
