Permissions and roles required:

  • If you want to manage task permission groups from MOVEit Automation Admin, the user under which MOVEit Automation runs must be an administrator.
  • The user under which MOVEit Automation runs must have FULL permissions to both of the following:
    • The local folder in which the MOVEit Automation program and configuration files are stored,
    • The MOVEit Automation cache folder.
      Note: If the user does not have these permissions, any changes that the user makes to the Central configuration are not permanent. During start-up, MOVEit Automation checks permissions to the folder. If permissions are insufficient, an alert with instructions for resolving the issue is sent to the Email address set in the Config utility - Errors tab, and MOVEit Automation terminates the current session.

Permissions Not Required:

  • The user under which MOVEit Automation runs does NOT need permission to all Windows file shares that you would like to access. Specific Windows file share credentials will be configured for each file share.
