Troubleshooting the Server Execution User Account
230
• You have the option of allowing the Interplay Engine installer to create the account. Select a
name before the installation and specify the name and a password during the installation.
The installer will create a local user in the Administrators group with the appropriate
permissions.
• You can also create a local Administrator account manually and specify that account during
the installation. The account must have local administration rights on the operating system
for the Interplay Engine server (both nodes on a cluster system). The account must have the
following local security policy settings set to enabled:
- Act as part of the operating system
- Back up files and directories
- Restore files and directories
- Adjust memory quotas for a process
-Log on as a service
- Increase scheduling priorities
- Manage auditing and security log
- Impersonate a client after authentication
- Debug programs
An account with an identical user name and password must have read/write access to the Avid
shared storage workspaces that contain media. Use the Avid ISIS Administration tool to create
this account.
c
When you install the Interplay Engine or the Interplay Archive Engine, do not select the
default Server Execution User. Create a custom user instead. The default user account is
AVID_WORKGROUP_USER. Do not use this account.
Ideally the Server Execution user should be an account that users do not use to log onto the
system. This prevents accidental changes to the Server User Account during normal
administration duties. For example, if someone changes the password by mistake, users might
not be able to access the Interplay database.
For security reasons, do not use the Interplay Engine server operating system Administrator
account. Create a unique account that you use only as the Server Execution User. For example,
you can create an administrative account called “IPEngine.” Avoiding the word Administrator
can help indicate that this account is not used for normal administrative tasks.

The Server Execution User account is different from the Interplay Administrator account. The
Server Execution User account is used to run the Interplay Engine processes. The Interplay
Administrator account is used to manage users and the database.
