Installation Account

The installation account must belong to the administrators group on the local machine. During the installation, you can choose to install the product under the local system account or a domain user’s account. If a local system account is used, no changes have to be made for the account. If a domain user’s account is used, the following rights are assigned to that account automatically during the installation:

  • Act as part of the operating system
  • Adjust memory quotas for a process
  • Create a token object
  • Log on as a batch job
  • Log on as a service
  • Replace a process token level
Note: For any reason, if you change the account under which the service is running, your local administrator must manually assign these rights to the new account to be used. To make this change effective, the MFT Platform Server service must be restarted.
