What Are the Accounts and Groups to Create?

This topic provides a summary of the user accounts and groups that you create. In a multi-computer deployment, Commerce Server 2009 accounts and user groups must be created on the domain controller. In a single-server deployment, you can create these accounts and groups on the computer where Commerce Server 2009 is installed. For the internal/test and development environments, create the same accounts and groups that you create for the data domain in the production environment.

See the following sections for the account and group requirements for each of these areas:

  • Commerce Server User and Service Accounts

  • Commerce Server Groups and Account Assignments

  • Additional User Groups for Granular Security

  • SQL Server Database Instances, Accounts, and Role User Mappings

Commerce Server User and Service Accounts

The following table lists the accounts that you create or that are created when you install prerequisite software. You must create the <CS Direct Mailer User>,<CS Installer>,<CS Staging User>, CSLOB, and RunTimeUser accounts before you install Commerce Server 2009. Registering ASP.NET 2.0 as the default framework creates the ASP.NET account. Post-installation, you create SQL Server Login accounts and associate the user accounts together with Windows user groups.

For information about registering ASP.NET as the default framework, see "Install Prerequisite Software" in the Commerce Server 2009 Installation and Configuration Guide at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=139462.

  • Passwords may not contain your user name or any part of your full name.

  • Passwords must contain characters that are uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and non-alphanumeric characters (such as punctuation symbols).

Commerce Server Groups and Account Assignments

Commerce Server Administrator Groups

You create four administrator groups summarized in the following table. These represent the minimum number of groups to define. You should create distinct user groups based on your business needs. You then assign these groups to authorization roles through the Authorization Manager. For more information, see Authorizing Users and Groups to Access Web Services.

User group

Description

Accounts to assign

CatalogAdminGroup

Administrator group for the Catalog and Inventory Web services.

<CS Installer>, Business User Accounts

<CS Installer>, Business User Accounts

OrdersAdminGroup

Administrator group for the Orders Web services.

<CS Installer>, Business User Accounts

ProfilesAdminGroup

Administrator group for the Profiles Web services.

<CS Installer>, Business User Accounts

For a production deployment, you will want to define more groups in order to take full advantage of the role assignment roles available. For descriptions about each predefined role, see the next section.

Commerce Server Site and Account and Application Pool Assignments

The following table summarizes the default names for the accounts and application pool that you create when you unpack a Commerce Server 2009 site.

Commerce Server Web Services and Account and Application Pool Assignments

Commerce Server 2009 installs the Web services when you unpack a site, and selects the Web services to install. Each Commerce Server 2009 Web service requires definition of a Windows user account, Windows user group, SQL Server login account, and application pool. The following table summarizes the default names Commerce Server 2009 and the installation guide use. You create the Windows user accounts before you unpack a site, and you create the SQL Server login accounts and application pools after you unpack the site.

Commerce Server 2009 Web service

Default name

Windows user account

Windows user group

SQL Server login account

Application pool

For each site that you unpack, we recommend that you create unique Web service account names, SQL Server login account names, Windows user groups, and application pools. You can share application pools, but we do not recommend this action.

Web Service Administrator Role Assignments

The following table lists the Web services and their corresponding authorization stores and administrator roles. You must assign each Web service account to its corresponding authorization role.

Authorization store

MarketingAuthorizationStore.xml

MarketingAdministrator

MarketingWebSvc, <CS Installer>

OrdersAuthorizationStore.xml

OrdersAdministrator

OrdersWebSvc, <CS Installer>

ProfilesAuthorizationStore.xml

ProfileAdministrator

ProfilesWebSvc, <CS Installer>

After you assign write permissions to the authorization stores, in order to perform any operation in the Business Management applications, you assign users to the administrator roles for each Web service. By adding <CS Installer> to each administrator role, you can open and use each Business Management application.

BizTalk Adapters Role Assignments

The following table lists the role assignments to which CSLOB, the BizTalk adapters identity, must be added.

Authorization store

Additional User Groups for Granular Security

The following sections summarize the various authorization roles that are predefined for the Commerce Server 2009 systems. For each authorization role of interest, create an associated user group on the domain controller. You can then add business user accounts to the user group.

  • Catalog and Inventory Systems

  • Marketing System

  • Orders System

  • Profiles System

For each user group you create, you must assign the groups to authorization roles through the Authorization Manager. For more information, see Authorizing Users and Groups to Access Web Services.

Note

A few features require permissions in more than one authorization store. For example, the authorization role must have Profiles Administrator and Catalog Viewer permissions to create credit card profiles.
