Recommendation: Use a development server
To minimize the risk of disruption and data loss, Winshuttle strongly recommend installing SharePoint and Winshuttle Workflow on a development (i.e. non-production) server first. Because the development server simulates a server in a real work environment (but operates in isolation), you can create, test, and refine your processes before moving them onto a production server. When you are ready to move to the production server, specify the URL of the production server within Winshuttle Workflow, and publish your workflows and/or forms to that server.
Workflow 11.x, SQL, and SharePoint account requirements
Back to topThe following sections include information about how to prepare for your Winshuttle Workflow installation, including system requirements, development server, authentication, and accounts details.
Authentication
Winshuttle Workflow requires authentication to access a database and impersonate a system user with sufficient privileges to access the SharePoint Object Model. This is in addition to normal user authentication during SharePoint login.
To give Winshuttle Workflow the authentication it requires, there are two options:
- SharePoint Object Model Access, which requires Windows authentication.
- SQL Server Access, which requires either Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication.
What accounts do I need?
To deploy Winshuttle Workflow, you can provide up to 2 accounts and 1 email address:
- Workflow Admin Account: Communicates with SharePoint and runs the Workflow Central Administration site. This account is also used to run SVservice.
- Workflow Database Account: Manages the Workflow database.
The following tables provide a summary of accounts and required permissions.
