Creating a dedicated service account
Workflow selects the IIS Application Pool accounts and the NETWORK SERVICE account to be your Process Manager's run-time accounts by default. However, Symantec recommends that you use a dedicated service account to be the Process Manager's run-time account.
Note: |
This dedicated account must be set up in the target SQL instance. This account is added to the db_owner role on the Process Manager database during installation. |
This task is a step in the process for setting up the Workflow computer.

To create a dedicated service account
Create a new user account as follows:
Name the account appropriately.
For example: <WorkflowService>
Uncheck and check .
Make sure that you use a strong password for the account.
Assign the permissions to the new account by running the following command from a command prompt:
aspnet_regiis -ga MachineName\AccountName
The MachineName is the name of your server or the domain name, if you use a domain account.
The AccountName is the name of your custom account.
