A new Flexera Community experience is coming on November 25th. Click here for more information.
Wanted to clarify if a requirement for the service account to be a member of local admin of application and/or beacon servers.
Did not find reference in documentation so wanted to clarify. We performed several installations where not a member of local admin and everything fine. We recently installed FNMS 2019 R1 where service account not a member and see several errors which related to permissions so we are wondering if because not a member.
Thanks

Hi Craig,
I would consider it to be best practice.
Did you use the service account for installation, or did you have a dedicated installation account? Just out of interest, could you share the issues you had?
Best regards,

While it is common for the service account to be granted local administrator rights on FlexNet servers, I don't think this is documented as a strict requirement for current FlexNet releases.
Rights that the service account requires are covered in Table 3: Service account privileges starting on page 19 in the Installing FlexNet Manager Suite On-Premises PDF (this link is current for the 2019 R1 release - look for other versions of the document if you are working with a different release).
If your service account has been granted all the documented rights are you are still seeing problems, it would be interesting to hear more about those problems in case there is anything missing from the documented rights that is needed for your scenario.
