Setting File System Permissions

Unwired Platform runs as a collection of Windows services. During installation, you are prompted with a Logon as request. The credentials collected are then used to run the service under that account. In a cluster installation, the same Windows user would be configured for all installations and respective Window services that are subsequently installed.

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Right-click <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>, and click Properties.
3. On the Security tab, click Advanced.
4. Unselect Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here..
5. In the confirmation pop-up, choose Copy, then select Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects..
6. In the table of Permission entries, remove all users except the user account that was configured as the Logon user for the Windows services. If another user is responsible for some activities extend the necessary permissions to this administrator. For example, if the individual is only reading log files, you may choose to limit permissions to read only.
7. Click OK.
