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 Tasks button.
  2. In the opened window, select the scan task and click the icon_settings button.
  3. Click Advanced settings → Run as.
  4. In the opened window, select the user who requires the rights to start the scan task.
  5. Save your changes.
