Configuring Run-As for Windows Engines

To configure run-as for Windows Engines:

1. Right-click the Engine’s install directory, select Properties, and under the Security tab use Add... to add all users that you intend to run Services as.
2. Select the Allow check box for Full Control.
3. In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. Right-click the Service running the Engine and select Properties. You must ensure that the Engine Daemon user can interact with the desktop. If the Local System user is selected, select the Allow Service to Interact with the Desktop check box.
4. Right-click the Engine’s %temp% directory, select Properties, and under the Security tab, use Add... to add all users that you intend to run Services as.
5. Select the Allow check box, for Read, Write, and Delete permissions. Note that the Delete permission is set using the Advanced button on the Security page of the Windows Explorer folder properties dialog box.
6. Specify Run-As credentials that have proper security privileges to run the corresponding service type for Engine instances:
User > User Admin > RunAs Credentials and then add user name and password.
7. Add Run-As user for corresponding Service Type on the UI:
Services > Service Types > Edit Service Type for corresponding Service > Add RunAs user
