Installation Guide
Windows User for MEGA
When installing MEGA Advisor and MEGA Anywhere, a user is required to manage process
authentication. It is recommended not to execute the Web Application processes with an
administrator user. You will therefore need a second domain user.
This user will be used as an impersonate user in both web applications. All the actions carried
out in MEGA Advisor or MEGA Anywhere will be done under the identity of this windows user.
Define Group permissions
This user must belong to specific windows groups:
• He must belong to the “Distributed COM Users” group of the server. To add the user to
this group, use the “Computer Management” dialog box of the “Administrative Tools”. Browse
to the “Groups” node. Right-click “Distributed COM Users” and select “Add to Group…”
