Assigning Rights to the Siebel Service Owner Account

Siebel CRM is installed using the Siebel service owner account. This account must belong to the Windows domain of the Siebel Enterprise Server (Windows environments) or to the users group of the Siebel Enterprise Server (UNIX environments) and must have full write permissions to the Siebel File System.

Implement the following recommendations for the Siebel service owner account:

  • Make sure a strong password has been set for the Siebel service owner account.

    For information on changing the password for the Siebel service owner account, see Changing and Managing Passwords.

  • Set the user account policy to lock the account after three unsuccessful login attempts.

  • Assign appropriate rights for the account as described in the following procedures.
