to assign rights to the driver.The driver requires rights to objects within the Identity Vault and to the input and output directories on the server. The Admin user object is most often used to supply these rights. However, you might want to create a DriversUser (for example) and assign security equivalence to that user. Whatever rights that the driver needs to have on the server, the DriversUser object must have the same security rights.
Click
