By default, a scan task is run with the permissions of the account under which the user logged in to the operating system. However, you may need to run a scan task under a different user account. You can specify a user who has the appropriate rights in the settings of the scan task and run the scan task under this user's account.

To configure the start of a scan task under a different user account:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Scheduled tasks section, select the subsection containing the name of the required task (Full Scan, Critical Areas Scan or Custom Scan).

    In the right part of the window, the settings of the selected scan task are displayed.

  3. Click the Run mode button.

    This opens a window with the properties of the selected task on the Run mode tab.

  4. On the Run mode tab, in the User section, select the Run task as check box.
  5. In the Name field, enter the name of the user account whose rights are necessary for starting the scan task.
  6. In the Password field, enter the password of the user whose rights are necessary for starting the scan task.
  7. Click OK.
  8. To save changes, click the Save button.
