3.2 Permissions

Before installing Sentinel Agent Manager, ensure your logon account is a member of the local Administrators group on the computers where you install Sentinel Agent Manager components. Also ensure your logon account is a member of the Microsoft SQL Server sysadmin role on the database server.

NOTE:

  • You do not need an Administrator account or SQL Server sysadmin account to run most Sentinel Agent Manager consoles or utilities after installation.

  • You must use an account that is a member of the Microsoft SQL Server sysadmin role on the database server to use the Access Configuration utility.

  • In Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista environments, users added to the Administrators group do not have built-in administrator privileges by default and are subject to User Account Control restrictions.

    When you manually install an agent on a computer with Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Vista installed, you may need to run the setup program using the built-in administrator account. To run ManualAgent.msi as the administrator, open the command-line interface using the runas command:

    runas /user:administrator cmd

    In the command-line interface, run the .msi according to the installation instructions.
