This section applies only to SharePoint farm environments. SharePoint standalone environment keep data on the local SQL Server, and do not need to specify an access account.
PortalProtect will fetch or modify data in the SharePoint database. You need specify a database access account with relevant permissions. The following is a list of the required database permissions:
  • SharePoint_Config Database: db_datareader and WSS_Content_Application_Pools roles
  • WSS_Content Database: db_owner role
Note
Note
If there is more than one WSS_Content database, specify this role to each WSS_Content database.
PortalProtect needs to execute SharePoint internal stored procedures. The stored procedures execution permission are only granted to the db_owner. For this reason PortalProtect needs a database role db_owner. PortalProtect will not modify the SharePoint database schema.
