1.6 Domain users

• For the Digizuite™ DAM Center to function correctly, you need to create two users: "assetstream" and "digibatch". Both users

• ' passwords must never expire.

• It is recommended to create them as domain users, however this is not a necessity. If you do not create a them as domain users, you have to create the users with the same passwords across all servers.
• Their usernames must not include characters that break XML syntax (i.e. ",',<,>,&).
• Storage stream user (Installer defaults to username "assetstream")
  • Read (NOT write) rights to everything in storage folder
  • Write/share rights to the following folders (The folders only exists after installation):
    • #assetstorage#\DMM\Upload
    • #assetstorage#\DMM\FtpUpload
• System user (Installer defaults to username "digibatch")
• Full read/write access to the storage folder
  • Unless stated otherwise by a consultant, this folder should be a shared folder between the batch and web/IIS server. It can be either a local storage (Example: D:\Storage) or to an UNC path (Example: \\<servername>\<share>)
• Must be able to start Windows services on the WEB server and the BATCH server
Must be in the following groupsIn step 1.3 you've created a folder that you'll use for storage. This folder you give the digibatch user complete read/write access to, and the assetstream user you only give complete read access to (you will need to extend the assetstream user rights later in the process - ref. the next point).
• After the installation, you have to go back to this folder, and give the assetstream user write access to the following folders:
  • ...\DMM\Upload
  • ...\DMM\FtpUpload
• After this you must add the following groups to the digibatch user:
  
  • Administrators (Without it the installer may very likely fail)
  • Performance Monitor Users (Without it the installer will not fail, but certain asset conversion jobs will)

  • (Optional) Remote Desktop Users (so you can login with the digibatch user)
    
    

    Info
    To add the users to groups, do the following steps 1. Open the program Computer Management 2. Expand Local Users and Groups and select Groups. 3. Right click the groups and press Properties 4. Press Add, and type in the username digibatch 5. Press Check Names and then OK, and OK again 6. Repeat for the other group as well.
