Windows 10 Pro Changing Service User

[Pipo]

Hi, i've installed Jira on Windows 10 Pro with an Admin User as an service with the installer. Now, i want to change the user, with which the service is running, to an User, that has no admin-rights. With the existing documentation, i didn't understand what i've exactly to do. First, i implemented a standard windows user, than i've changed the user on the service from local system to the new user. But know, what have i to do exactly, that everything with the path and rights will work? Is there eventually existing a more basic documentation? Thanks a lot. 

Some documentation i've read:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/creating-a-dedicated-user-account-on-the-operating-system-to-run-confluence-255362445.html

Looks like you're partway there! You've already changed the Windows Service user and now just need to ensure the file permissions are correct. You'll need to set that user as the owner on the home directory and the install directory. If you used the installer and didn't change the default home directory path, it is at:

C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Application Data\JIRA

The install path should be listed in the Windows Service if you don't already know what it is offhand.

Both these directories should be configured so the new user you've created has full permission on them. 

Cheers,
Daniel
