Requirements for Run As User

Note the following requirements for the FSA Run As User:

Local Administrator on FSA Server

The FSA Run As User must be a member of Local Administrators group on FSA server.

Microsoft Exchange Public Folders

For Exchange Public Folder scans, the FSA Run As user requires:

• An Exchange mailbox. (You can typically create a mailbox at the same time as you create a new user account in Active Directory.)
• Read access to Exchange Public Folders for the limited access user.
• Read and Write access to Exchange Public Folders for the full access user. This permits the FSA to copy or delete Public Folder items.

The FSA also requires a default email application compatible with Microsoft Exchange, such as Microsoft Outlook.

Microsoft SharePoint sites

For SharePoint scans, the FSA Run As user:

• Must be a domain user with local administrator rights on the SharePoint host machine.
• Must be a member of the MSSQL db_owner role on the SharePoint configuration database and any SharePoint content databases that contain the site data being scanned.
• Requires sufficient List and Site permissions to the Microsoft SharePoint site being scanned. For example, a capture-only policy requires at least the 'View Items' and 'View Application Pages' List permissions and the 'Browse Directories' Site permission.
