Accounts used during installation

The account that you use to install UC Analytics must be a local administrator on the computer. If you are distributing the services, the account must have local administrator rights on each computer on which you are installing.

During installation you can specify an account that is used to run the Data Engine service. This account must be a domain account and must have local Admin rights on the computer on which the Data Engine service is installed.

By default, the account that is used to install UC Analytics is set as a product administrator, which means that the account can access the Admin Settings which are used to configure the product.

If a service account has changed, you can update the account using the Change Service Account option in the Deployment Manager. This option changes the account in Windows for the UC Analytics services and in the UC Analytics configuration database. For more information, see Changing the service account .
