For agents running on Windows platforms, Serena Release Automation provides a program that handles
impersonation. You implement impersonation for Windows-based agents the same way you do
for Unix- or Linux-based agents: when you configure a process step, you specify the
local user credentials—user name and password—that
will be used when the step is processed. For impersonation purposes, a local user is one
whose user name and password are stored on the target computer and who is part of the
administration group and has, at a minimum, the following privileges:
-
SE_INCREASE_QUOTA_NAME(adjust memory quotas for a process) -
SE_ASSIGNPRIMARYTOKEN_NAME(replace a process-level token) -
SE_INTERACTIVE_LOGON_NAME(local logon)
You can also impersonate the Windows LocalSystem account. The LocalSystem account is installed on every Windows machine and is the equivalent of the root user on Unix/Linux. It is guaranteed to have the privileges listed above.
Note
For Windows-based agents the sudo option is ignored if selected.
