Next steps

Using SQL Server Management Studio, you must now apply the sysadmin role to the user account designated for the DocRetriever Agent user account.

Applying the Systems Administrator database role to Windows user accounts

Applying database roles to Windows user accounts for SQL Server 2014
Applying database roles to Windows user accounts for SQL Server 2012
Applying database roles to Windows user accounts for SQL Server 2008

This task is a step in the roadmap for setting up a Windows user account for DocRetriever Agent. It is also the only step required to set up a Windows user account for DocRetriever Console.

On the machine where SQL Server Management Studio is installed (to manage the SQL Server instance used for DocRetriever), add the systems administrator (sysadmin) database role to the Windows user account designated for the DocRetriever Agent, and for the user account designated for the DocRetriever Console.

Because the user interfaces differ, these steps are detailed for SQL Server 2014 on Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012 R2, and SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows 2008 R2.

NOTE: For different versions of SQL Server or different operating systems, there may be some differences between the procedural steps documented here.
