Hi,

I have a cluster that has some differences in the OS permissions to access the dataminer Folders and I’d like to know which ones are required for the system to work properly.

These are some of the initial differences:

Thanks!

As a partial answer (I might be overlooking things here):

I believe that the only user who really needs to have full access on the Skyline DataMiner folder is the SYSTEM user, as DataMiner processes are running as that user.

Next to that, some folders also require IIS_IUSRS to have full permission as well (e.g. saving of dashboards and annotations) (Tools\SetNtfsPermissions.js configures these)

I would also expect the web server (IIS_IUSRS) to need read access at least on the WebPages, Protocols and Logging folders, so it can serve these files.
