Configure the User Account

The StorCycle installation includes two services, the StorCycle service and the MongoDB® service. By default, these services are run by the Local System User. However, the Local System User often does not have access to all storage locations used by the StorCycle solution, permissions to read from and write to the storage locations, and permissions to take ownership of files. Use the table below to select the privileges to configure for the user running the StorCycle service.

Note:

Consult an IT administrator to configure the StorCycle service user.
