Administration accounts and roles
The most important Enterprise Vault account is the Vault Service account. You must set up the Vault Service account and give it suitable permissions before you install Enterprise Vault. This account must be used to run the Enterprise Vault configuration wizard when you are setting up Enterprise Vault.
Enterprise Vault services and tasks use the Vault Service account when accessing Enterprise Vault databases. In Exchange Server archiving, the Vault Service account is used by Enterprise Vault tasks when connecting to the Microsoft Exchange Server.
Enterprise Vault tasks can run under the Vault Service account or you can, if required, specify different accounts for individual tasks.
See the Installing and Configuring guide for more information on creating the Vault Service account.
Enterprise Vault also provides administration roles that can be assigned to other Enterprise Vault administrators. These roles provide limited privileges to allow the users to perform given management tasks using the Administration Console. A number of predefined roles are provided for specific management tasks.
