Permissions/Security

The PST Flight Deck service account requires local Administrator access to all PST Flight Deck servers, full read/write access to the BITS upload share and the storage location that the share points at, and also active SQL ‘dbcreator’ permissions during the installation process.

For migrations to an Enterprise Vault target, the account used as the PST Flight Deck service account needs to be the Vault Service account used for the applicable Enterprise Vault server(s).

All accounts used during the operation of a PST Flight Deck project require the ability to access applicable servers, and to have full read/write access to the PST Flight Deck SQL database. Any account used during the operation of PST Flight Deck must be configured as an “Expert” in PST Flight Deck to have full control over Console functions.

Accounts running services that provide supplemental functionality, such as the Share Scanner or Central Upload Agent, require permission sufficient to access the resources they are acting against. For some of the more advanced features of the Central Upload Agent, this may include access to local workstation administrative shares. Typically these components run under accounts other than the service account.
