Biztalk Administrator groups

Do BizTalk Administrator security groups, namely

SSO Administrators               
SSO Affiliate Administrators     
BizTalk Server Administrators

really need local administrator right or just administrator right to the SQL server only?

I was challenged by our network administrator regarding rights of the groups and I can not find any Microsoft documents that specifically said the groups need local administrator access.

If such documents exist, I would appreciate it if you can update the link in your answer.

If not, what specific rights do these groups needs? I am not a network admin and is very new to BizTalk, I am not really sure what is needed for BizTalk to operate normally.

Solution

  • No, BizTalk Groups or Users do not need Local Administrator. In fact, the recommendation is for BizTalk to not run as Administrator, just like most other apps.

    However, I have had situations where odd combinations of Policies and other network settings have meant Administrator is needed.
