Description

Before installing the Alta SaaS Protection (ASP) Connector Service, it is recommended to create a dedicated service account in the domain.  The Connector Service will run under this account, and will use it to access the file system locations that the archiving policies will get applied to. 

Below are the minimum permissions required:

  • Standard read permissions.
  • 'Write Attributes' permission as shown in the screenshot below.  The 'Write Attributes' permission is required because ASP suppresses updating the Last Accessed time.
  • 'Write' permission is also required when using the .hubstorinfo file which is enabled by default.  For more info on this file, refer to the article: https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100050077
  •  
 
NOTE: When installing the Connector Service, the credentials for the service account will need to be provided.
