IDERA SQL Compliance Manager checks the permissions available on each SQL Server instance you want to monitor. This check runs automatically each time you register a new instance.
If the check fails, review the issue, and then access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Idera\SQLcompliance
to make the permission changes. For more information about the required permissions, see Configuration wizard - Permissions Check window.

services.msc
using the Run command. The system displays the Services window. - Right-click the SQLcompliance Collection Service, and then select Properties.
