Starting a scan task under the account of a different user

By default, a scan task is run with the permissions of the account under which the user logged in to the operating system. However, you may need to run a scan task under a different user account. You can specify a user who has the appropriate rights in the settings of the scan task and run the scan task under this user's account.

To configure the start of a scan task under a different user account:

  1. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
  2. In the application settings window, select TasksFull Scan , Critical Areas Scan, or Custom Scan.
  3. Click the Run mode button.

    This opens a window with the properties of the selected task on the Run mode tab.

  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 starting the scan task.
  6. In the Password field, enter the password of the user whose rights are necessary for starting the scan task.
  7. Save your changes.
