Requirements for User Permissions for the Siebel Web Server Extension

This topic describes some requirements for permissions that affect installation or operation of the SWSE software and the Siebel virtual directories on the Web server.

This topic is part of Requirements for Installing and Configuring the Siebel Web Server Extension.

The user who will run the SWSE plug-in must have read, write, and execute permissions on the SWSE_ROOT\public\language directories and their subdirectories (in this path, SWSE_ROOT is the directory in which the SWSE is installed and language is a language directory such as ENU, FRA, CHT, and so on). On Windows, grant these permissions to the IUSR (IIS 7 or later) or IUSR_computername and IWAM_computername (IIS 6) user accounts. These permissions allow static public files to be cached on the Web server. These directories are created during SWSE installation and configuration. In general, Siebel administrators require full access to SWSE_ROOT and all of its subdirectories.

The Web server administrator and all of the Siebel users and groups must have read and execute permission on all of the virtual directories for Siebel Business Applications. The virtual directories are created on the Web server during SWSE configuration. If these permissions are not granted, then login pages will not be rendered properly.
