The Manager installs the following services as a Local Service:
Trellix IPS Manager
Trellix IPS Manager Database
Note
Trellix IPS Manager Watchdog runs as a Local System to facilitate restart of the Manager in case of abrupt shutdown.
Note
Manager installation with local service account privileges is not supported in the Linux based Manager.
The Local Service account has fewer privileges on accessing directories and resources than the Local System. By default, the Manager installation directory and database directory are granted full permission to the Local Service account during installation or upgrade of Manager.
Set the permissions to a Local Service as needed in the following scenarios:
Backup directory location: If the backup directory was different from the Manager installed directory before the upgrade to the current release, full permission on these directories for a Local Service should be granted.
Notification script execution: If a user uses a script that accesses directories or resources located in directories other than in Manager installed directories for notifications like alerts, faults etc., full permission on these directories for a Local Service should be granted.
Database configuration: If a user has a MariaDB database configured for using a directory for temporary files other than the one provided during installation, those directories should be given full permissions for a Local Service.
