Assigning the Service to a Windows User Account

After you have installed EFT Server, created a Windows account for EFT Server, and assigned permissions to the account, you need to edit the service itself so that it will not run as a "System Account" (the default account choice). Running the service as System Account poses the potential hazard of giving users complete access to your system.

To assign the service to a Windows user account

  1. Open the Windows Services dialog box.

  2. Right-click GlobalSCAPE EFTServer, then click Properties.  

  3. Follow the Windows Operating System procedures for selecting an account under which the service will run.
