Opsview Cloud 6.7.5

Released: 6 September 2022

These are the issues we have fixed in this release:

Issue key	Description
OP-48906	ProCheckUp: Privileged administrative functions no longer require password. When setting up Opsview Cloud system, the `NOPASSWD` flag has been removed from the users sudo configuration.
