Account requirements for managing FSA with Windows file servers
You can configure and manage file servers in Enterprise Vault with the Vault Service account, or an account that belongs to a suitable Enterprise Vault administrator role. The predefined Enterprise Vault roles that permit FSA administration are the File Server Administrator and the Power Administrator.
See "Managing administrator security" in the Administrator's Guide.
The account must be a member of the local Administrators group on the computer on which you run the Administration Console.
For Windows file servers, the account must also meet the following requirements:
The account must have Full control on any share that is configured as a target volume, and must have NTFS read permission on the folder that the share maps to
If you want to browse in the Administration Console when selecting folders as targets, the account must have Browse permissions on the target folders. Otherwise you must specify the folder path by typing it.
The Vault Service account requires some additional permissions and privileges on the file server.
See Permissions and privileges required by the Vault Service account on Windows file servers.
Note that to perform the following actions, you must use an account that has additional permissions:
To install the FSA Agent you must use an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on the file server. This requirement applies both for installation from the Administration Console and for manual installation of the FSA Agent.
To configure or reconfigure the FSA resource for a file server cluster, you must run the FSA Cluster Configuration wizard with account that is a member of the local Administrators group on each node of the file server cluster. The account must also have Full Control permission on the
FSA Cluster
folder of the Enterprise Vault server. TheFSA Cluster
folder is a subfolder of theUtilities
