QvAdmin account

Hi!

I'm new on qvs installing so apologize me for my simple question:

is it necessary to create a specific QvAdmin Account? or I can use "my" local account Administrator?

Thank You.

Ciao Stefania

Hi!

thank for your reply.

Now I've another question: how can I install qvs using a not administrator account?

I'm looking for this document

http://community.qlik.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/12/2844.Minimum-security-permissions-needed-when-installing-QlikView-9-infrastructure.docx:550:0]

but I couldn't find it.

Can you help me?

Thank you Stefania

In QV 9 it was a recommended best practice to use an admin account, in QV10 it's a requirement I believe.

Here's the document, I just found it using google.

thank you!

I've just read that it was a recommended best practice to use an admin account, but our IT service prefer to use not admin account for qv service or I've to justify a GOOD way this option (qv admin == machine administrator).

Could you help me to understand why "I need an administrator account and not an user account for qv service"?

ciao

Not really, sorry.

I guess it's just easier than defining a bunch of security permissions.
