Service Account Permissions for Octopus Deploy Server

Hi,

What permissions should I allocate for a Service Account for Octopus Deploy Server?

Thanks!

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for getting in touch! Generally speaking service accounts should have specific tasks you want them to perform, so the permissions they are given should be specific to that task. It’s mostly for security. We never suggest giving a service account admin access, and we also think you should have many service accounts so you can trace your automation granularly.

If you could tell me what you want your service account to do, I can let you know what permissions you will need to have.

Thanks!
Vanessa

Hi,

This would be the service account for Octopus Deploy Server to run as. It is currently running as the Local System User but I’d like to have it run with fewer privileges.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for asking this, I don’t believe we’d documented it before. I’ve created a new documentation page here:

Hopefully this is what you needed.
