Configure a Local Group Administrator

Local Administrator group users have unrestricted access to files and folders on the StorCycle server, NAS sources, and NAS targets. An IT Administrator must manually add the StorCycle user to each Local Administrator group on every required server.

Create a User Account for running the StorCycle Service.

Notes: l

If you want to use the same user as your Spectra NAS equipment, use all lower case for the username.

Spectra Logic recommends that you select the User cannot change password and Password never expires check boxes when creating the new user.

Make the new user account a local Administrator on the StorCycle server, all source locations, and all target storage locations.

Note:

The user must be an Administrator and not a Backup Operator. Windows does not give Backup Operators permissions to write files and cannot be used to create HTML links and symbolic links on sources, or write files to most targets.

If migrate / store projects will replace files with symbolic links for transparent access, ensure the new user can create symbolic links.

Use the keyboard shortcut Windows logo key+R to open the Run window.

In the Open: field enter secpol.msc and click OK. The Local Security Policy window displays.

Select Local Policies > User Rights Assignment, and then double-click Create symbolic links. The Create symbolic links Properties screen displays.

Add the Service User account name created in Step 1.

Spectra Logic recommends mounting Isilon CIFS shares for the user running the StorCycle solution using the "map network drive" wizard or the "net use" command.
