4. After the user account is created, go to Policies/User Rights. Choose the Show

Advanced User Rights check box. Grant the Logon as a Service right to the

SRMSvcUser account.

5. Make a note of the account’s password; you will need it during SRM installation.

6. Apply the settings and install SRM.

For more information on service user accounts, see your Windows NT documentation.

Create the SRMAdmin Group

Setup creates a local group called SRMAdmin on every computer where SRM Server

software is installed. This group is created, but not populated. It is provided as a

management convenience.

SRMAdmin group membership on the SRM Server computer gives all the privileges

needed to administer SRM (change settings) through the SRM Options pages. If you

would like an SRM user or user group to have these access rights, simply add them to

the SRMAdmin group.

Manually creating this group before installation is optional. The installation program

creates the SRMAdmin group on each computer automatically.

NOTE: Windows NT/Windows 2000 group creation requires administrator privileges on the

computer. You must have these privileges to perform this procedure.

To create the SRMAdmin group on Windows NT:

1. On the computer where you will install the SRM Server software, log in to an

account with Administrator privileges.

2. Go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > User Manager for Domains.

3. If the computer is in a workgroup or is a domain controller in a domain, go to

Step 5.

4. If the computer is in a domain, but is not

a domain controller, go to

User > Select Domain and enter the computer’s name in the Domain field.

5. Go to User > New Local Group and create a new local group called SRMAdmin.

6. Assign group membership as desired.
