Wading through the documentation on security accounts has been a challenge.
We have had a lot of trouble getting a cube to run on an install with
multiple accounts. It's currently running fine on an install with a single
account--though ultimately we don't want to do it that way. Combing through
the Planning & Deployment guides, here's what I came up with for the next
attempt:
Security Accounts in order of appearance:
o Install binaries: admin on machine
o SharePoint Products & Technology Configuration Wizard
 Welcome: svc_farm
 Specify Configuration Database Settings: svc_farm
o Create the Web application to host the PWA site: svc_pool
 Create Site Collection: svc_ssp
o Create the Web application to host the SSP: svc_ssp
o Create the SSP: svc_ssp
o Provision the PS 2007 site on the farm (Create PWA site): svc_farm
(svc_pool?) – administrative credentials to the PS instance
My main question is on the last account for the PWA site. Though the
Deployment guide references the Planning guide in this section, the Planning
guide doesn't make any reference to an adminitrator account for the Project
Server instance. Should it be the farm account because it's for the farm, or
the pool account because the application pool hosts the PWA site?
Thanks,
Mike
