User Rights Required for Running Parallels Configuration Manager

Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy is installed in Windows as a service application. When
configuring Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy, you'll be asked to specify a user account for
running the service. The user you select must have specific rights. The following provides a
summary of the requirements and then describes in detail how to verify and set the necessary user
rights.
Required User Rights Summary
The user account under which the Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy runs must be a domain
user with the following rights:
• Permissions to write to the SMS Provider (full write WMI permissions).
• Permissions to use DCOM objects on a server where the SMS Provider is installed (the user
must be a member of the Distributed COM Users group).
• Administrative rights in Configuration Manager.
• Administrative rights on the computer where the service is running.
The following step-by-step instructions describe how to create a domain user with the rights
outlined above.
