LogServiceUsers - System Parameter

The Nodinite System Parameter LogServiceUsers defines the service accounts that are granted access to newly created Log Databases. These accounts receive the database roles specified in the LogAccessRoles System Parameter. The service users listed must have the appropriate authentication and security configurations in SQL Server.

Important

You must include all unique service accounts for Nodinite Core Services in the 'LogServiceUsers' System Parameter.

System Parameter Name Data Type Values/Example Comment
LogServiceUsers String DOMAIN\ServiceUser1;DOMAIN\ServiceUser2 Semicolon-separated list of service accounts

Overview & Benefits

Ensuring the right service accounts have access to Log Databases is critical for secure and efficient operations. The LogServiceUsers parameter provides complete control over which service users are assigned database access roles, helping organizations maintain security, compliance, and operational best practices honoring the principle of least privilege.

Why This Matters for Your Business

Centralized Access Management – Define and manage service accounts in one place, ensuring consistency across all new Log Databases.
Enhanced Security & Compliance – Ensure only authorized service accounts have access, reducing security risks and meeting regulatory requirements.
Seamless Role Assignment – Works with the LogAccessRoles parameter to automatically assign the correct permissions to designated service accounts.
Scalability & Flexibility – Easily manage service account access as your infrastructure evolves and new databases are deployed.
Improved Operational Efficiency – Reduce manual configuration efforts and minimize potential access misconfigurations.
