Permissions

If you are not using internal authentication or group authorization with single sign-on, the server software launches a process for the end user, passing the user’s ID and password to the operating system. The launched process has the file access rights of the end user’s account. A user connecting to server software must log in with an account that has the following permissions:

  • Read and execute permissions to the server’s installation directory and its subdirectories
  • Read, execute, and write permissions to the directory location for temporary files

For internal authentication and single sign-on, the connecting client user has the permissions that are assigned to the user who started the service/daemon.

You can use the administration application (IBM® SPSS® Statistics Administration Console, which is installed as part of IBM SPSS Deployment Manager) to change the default location of the temporary files. See the topic File Locations in the Deployment Manager User's Guide (included in the help for IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services) for more information. You can also change the location for individual users or groups. See the topic IBM SPSS Statistics Server User Profiles and Groups, in the Deployment Manager User's Guide, for more information.
