Which user account should I use for the ALM install?
| ♥ 0 |
Hello. I just wanted to verify something regarding the ALM installation instructions. We plan to install ALM 12.21 on a Windows 2012 R2 server, and I wanted to find out the following. I had intended to install it with my own user id, but then read in the installation manual where it states that "All related installation operations for the same version, such as patch installations or uninstalling ALM, must be performed by the same user." Is that the best route to go when installing ALM? I appreciate any information that you can provide.

The safest and suggested route would be to create a Windows service account with the permissions indicated in the installation manual. This account will need to be accessible by system admins in order to perform any maintenance, patch installs, etc. Windows marks some of the files so that only that specific user can change or delete, so the use of the service account avoids this problem. I hope this answers your question. Marked as spam
