Scanning Unix File System via NFS and Service Account Privileges

Hello all,

I am trying to scan a Solaris File System (64-bit) by enabling and exposing the file system via NFS. On a Unix platform, in order to parse a file system you need root or root like privileges. Does anyone from out there have an understanding of what level of access a service account requires in order to scan a Unix file system like Solaris? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
