Why does the ReportFYI Processing Service need local administrator rights on the application server?

Modified on Tue, 26 Mar, 2024 at 9:34 AM

 

The User does not need Local Admin rights; however, it is frequently set up that way to handle many of the different rights it needs:

 

  • Run as a Service
  • Read/write from the directory/directories where any logging takes place.
  • Read/write from any Network Shares that are in use for Distribution purposes and/or reading Excel files!
  • Communicate with the SMTP server for mail purposes!
  • Connect to one or more SQL Servers if Integrated Authority is used!
  • Open/listed TCP/IP ports for communication purposes
