Analysis Server Properties (Log On Tab)

  • Article

Applies to: SQL Server - Windows only

Use the Log On tab of the Analysis Server Properties dialog box to specify the account used by the SSAS service, and to start and stop the service.

Note

When changing the Account Name used by a service on a clustered instance, the new account must either be a member of the domain group specified during setup for the service being changed, or you must have permission to add members to that group. If you do not have permission to modify group membership, contact the domain administrator.

Type the password of the account.
