Windows – Service User Requirements: Start/Stop Service Permission to the user (KB1116916) – The user must be allowed to start and stop the MID Server service from Windows Services or using scripts.Full access to the MID Server folder – The user should have permission to read, write, and modify files in the MID Server installation directory.Run as a Service – The account must be allowed to run applications as a background service (configured through Windows Local Security Policy).Increase Process Working Set – This allows the user to allocate more memory to the process if needed, which can be important for Java-based applications like MID.Use domain username in supported format: Only domain\username format is supportedDo not use username@domain — update it if used Linux – Service User Requirements: Polkit is configured (Refer KB0815542) - This is required only if the MID Server is running as a non-admin (non-root) user.Read/write/execute access to MID Server folder – The user must be able to read, modify, and run files from the MID Server directory.
