• Before you install a Web AppTier, you need to grant special file and directory permissions (including all sub-directories) to the UNIX or Windows user that you intend to use during the installation.

  Info
  The permissions in the general collection table are not needed for the ongoing operation, only for installation. Auto-detected values will be shown. If this user does not have these permissions during installation you will not see these auto-detected values and you will have to supply them manually.

• The Operating System user that runs the Web Server or Web Application should have full control privileges for the <i3_root> directory (for example: NETWORK SERVICE for IIS6).

  Info
  For the installation of a Web AppTier, you will need a user with Web administrator privileges.
