Installation of IPS Server and applications (server-side)

To install IPS Server and the server-side application programs you must be using a Windows account with Administrator permissions for the machine where you are installing the software.

IPS Server administrator users are controlled by membership of a security group. By default, it is a Windows local security group named 'Palantir IPS Admin'. This will be created by the IPS Server installer, if it does not already exist, and the user that is running the installer will be added to the workgroup (if not already a member). A different security group (local or domain-based) can be set in the installation process.

After installation, you can control IPS Server management access by adding local and Active Directory users or workgroups to the administrator security group, by using the Windows 'local user manager' application ('lusrmgr.msc') in the default case.
