Minimum rights required to restart services from the Administration Console

asked on June 2, 2017

Hello!

A client asked me an interesting question that seems easy, but I wanted to double check before replying to him. When logged into the Administration Console, one has the ability to restart the Laserfiche Server and Full Text Search services there. Obviously, when using the Admin Console on the same machine as the services, one would need Local Administrative rights within windows to restart the services.

The client has the Admin Console installed on a remote machine, however. Does he still require local admin rights to restart services, or will something lower work as well? Possibly a domain admin? He would like to know the most restrictive rights required to complete the task.

Thanks in advance!

Do you mean Administration Console desktop or Web Administration Console?

If it is Web Administration Console, only users who are system manager can see the operation button of start/stop services.

And users who have the follow restrictive rights on Laserfiche Server machine and Laserfiche Full Text Search service machine can start/stop the services successfully:

Query status
Enumerate dependents
Start
Stop
Read Permissions

For how to grant user the above rights, you can see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/325349/how-to-grant-users-rights-to-manage-services-in-windows-server-2003
