NOTE: The space required depends on the configuration, the number of files, folders and shares scanned with explicit permissions, and the amount of activity processed.

VNXe is not supported. VNXe does not support CEPA currently and therefore Data Governance Edition will not run successfully in VNXe environments.

EMC storage devices require additional configuration.

See Appendix: EMC managed host deployment prior to adding an EMC managed host.

Common Event Enabler (CEE) versions 8.7.8.1 and 8.7.8.2 are not yet supported.

100GB disk space on the SharePoint agent computer for data storage and scan post-processing activities.

NOTE: The space required depends the number of sites, lists, and document libraries and the number of unique permissions gathered from the farm.

8GB RAM for the SharePoint agent computer.

Agent is installed where the One Identity Manager service (job server) is running for the SharePoint farm.

We recommend installing the One Identity Manager service on a dedicated SharePoint Application Server in the farm and not on a Web Front server which prevents extra load processing on that server.

Standalone farms are not supported.

Farms configured with only Local Users and Groups are not supported.

Cloud

The following cloud providers running on Office 365 are supported for scanning (remote managed host):

  • SharePoint Online
  • OneDrive for Business

Log On as a Service local user rights on the agent computer. (This is automatically granted when the agent is deployed.)

Service account for an agent managing SharePoint farms

Must be the SharePoint farm account (same account that is used to run the SharePoint timer service and the One Identity Manager service (job server)). This account also needs to be a member of the administrators group on the SharePoint server.

Log On as a Service local user rights on the agent computer. (This is automatically granted when the agent is deployed.)

Service account for an agent managing NetApp filers
