Creating an account with Windows administrator privileges
Before installing iHub, create a Windows user account that is a member of the Administrators group. Use this account when installing and running iHub.
The iHub user account must meet the following requirements:
Be a member of the Windows Administrators group.
The account must have privileges to access the required software and hardware, such as database servers, printers, and iHub files and folders.
Have log on as a service privilege.
If the account does not meet this requirement, the iHub installation program prompts you to configure the privilege to run the Actuate BIRT iHub service.
On a new Windows Vista installation, the initial user account is not a member of the Administrators group. You must configure this user account to be a member of this group.
When installing iHub in Windows 2003, create a Windows user account that is a member of the Power Users not the Administrators group. Make sure that the Account has permission to access any printers required for printing. Perform the installation using an account that has Administrator privileges. During the installation, when prompted to specify the user account to run the iHub service, specify the Power User account.
For more information about configuring a Power User and iHub account and log on as a service privilege, see
“Creating an account with Windows administrator privileges” in
Chapter 2, “Installing BIRT iHub.”
