This topic demonstrates how to create shared folders in EmpowerID.


Info
titlePrerequisites
  • EmpowerID must first be connected to Active Directory. For details, see Connecting to Active Directory.
  • After EmpowerID is connected to Active Directory, a Windows File Server within that directory must be added to EmpowerID as a managed resource system. For details, see Adding Windows File Servers.
  • Additionally, for EmpowerID to have the necessary NTFS permissions to create shared folders, you must associate the Windows Server Management Web Service job with a service account that is a member of the domain administrator's group with a password that is vaulted in EmpowerID. For more details, see Configuring the EmpowerID Windows Server Agent Account.
