Assign permissions to Windows Services account

The Windows Services account is a Windows account for services that run automatically using a named account. Permissions for the Windows Services account are automatically assigned during the installation sequence when the installation team submits the Windows Services user ID and password.

On rare occasions, permissions may be modified unintentionally and the permissions must then be reassigned manually.
