The ServiceManager can be installed as a service multiple times. This means that different ServiceManager environments can be created; one that serves as a test system and one that serves as a production system, for example. If several of these services are used, they are distinguished by the ServiceManager environment name (default name: UC4).
Note that the ServiceManager service must be started under a Windows userIn the Automation Engine, a user is an instance of a User object, and generally the user is a specific person who works with Automic products. The User object is assigned a user ID and then a set of access rights to various parts of the Automation Engine system and product suite. These access rights come in the form of Automation Engine authorizations and privileges, Decision user roles and EventBase rights and ARA web application object rights. You can manage all these centrally in the ECC user management functions. See also, Unified user management. with administrator rights. The reason is that the ServiceManager can be used to start components that can start processes for various different users.
