Ensure that the Windows account has sufficient permissions, as described in the
following section
Windows account permissions
The Windows account that the connector is running under must have sufficient
permissions to perform the following actions:
●
List the content of folders
●
Read the content of documents
●
Read attributes of files and folders
●
Read permissions (ACLs) for both files and folders
●
Write basic attributes permissions
The connector attempts to restore the last access date for documents after it reads
the document content during a crawl. In order for the last access date to be
restored back to the original value before the content was read, the user account
that the connector is running under needs to have write permission. If the account
has read-only permission and not write permission for documents, then the last
access date for documents will change as the connector reads document content
during a crawl.
Membership in one of the following groups grants a Windows account the sufficient
permissions needed by the connector:
●
Administrators
●
Power Users
●
Print Operators
