Setting Permissions: App Portal Service Account
App Portal requires that you identify an account (App Portal service account) to use for the interaction with SQL and Active Directory. The App Portal service account will require administrative permissions on the client workstations if you wish App Portal to successfully run machine policy evaluation for accelerated software deployments and rerunning advertisements as necessary.
The service account must have Read permission on the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Altiris Client Management database in SQL and Read/Write permission on the App Portal database that gets created during the installation process. The Installer Account will attempt to provision the Service Account with DB_DataReader permissions to the SCCM database and DBO permissions to the App Portal database.
