Prerequisites
Technical user
The FMA service needs to run under a user account (for example, FMAUser) with the following privileges:
• Backup files and directories.
• Restore files and directories.
• Take ownership of files or other objects.
• Network access.
Other things to consider about technical users:
• Password must not expire.
• Password should not be changeable by the user.
NOTE: The user must have the appropriate access rights (“FULL CONTROL”) on the NAS devices, which
are used as backend datastores.
Create the FMA technical user account before starting the installation procedure. A wizard is launched
during the installation for setting up the technical user.
