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.
