Starting an update task under the rights of a different user account

By default, the Kaspersky Endpoint Security update task is started on behalf of the user whose account you have used to log in to the operating system. However, Kaspersky Endpoint Security can be updated from an update source that the user cannot access due to a lack of required rights (for example, from a shared folder that contains an update package) or not having the rights of an authorized proxy server user. In the Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings, you can specify a user that has such rights and start the Kaspersky Endpoint Security update task under that user account.

To start an update task under a different user account:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Scheduled tasks section, select Update.

    In the right part of the window, the Application Update Settings are displayed.

  3. In the Run mode and update source section, click the Run mode button.

    The Run mode tab opens in the Update window.

  4. On the Run mode tab, in the User section, select the Run task as check box.
  5. In the Name field, enter the name of the user account whose rights are necessary for accessing the update source.
  6. In the Password field, enter the password of the user whose rights are necessary for accessing the update source.
  7. Click OK.
  8. To save changes, click the Save button.
