Issue
When WebReports is installed, two users called "appuser" are created. One is a local Windows user, and one is a SQL user.
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- WebReports
- User accounts
Cause
These users are or have been needed by WebReports
Resolution
EBO version 2.0 and above: the Windows user account "appuser" is no longer required to operate WebReports. It is only a requirement during installation.
SBO/EBO version 1.8 and above: In SQL, the "appuser" user account has been removed as it's not essential for the Web Reports to operate correctly.
In these versions, if an upgrade from an earlier version is performed and this user account is still present, it can be safely deleted /disabled.
In all other versions: The local Windows user account ([PC_NAME]\appuser) is used for importing report packs (RDL files) and synchronizing between WebReports and Microsoft Reporting Services.
For more information about this account, refer to SmartStruxure WebReports Installation Errors (1001 while importing report pack).
To change the password for this Windows user, refer to Changing Report Server "appuser" password.
