Assigning log on as a service rights
The GFI WebMonitor service needs to run with administrative privileges. The username and password provided for the GFI WebMonitor service must have Logon as a service rights.
Log on as a service rights allow a user to log on as a service. Services can be configured to run under the Local System, Local Service, or Network Service accounts, which have a built-in right to log on as a service. Any service that runs under a separate user account must be assigned the right.
