Service Users
Definition
A number of global services and repository services need to perform operations on resources in various repositories. For example, the index management service must read all resources it is meant to index.
To be able to perform the required operations, the services use service users. These service users must be defined as CM system principals with appropriate permissions. They must also be defined in portal user management.
Use
The following CM services require a service user:
· Time-dependent publishing service
· Collaboration services (except the rating service)

Like other users, the service users must also be defined in portal user management.
