I have a workbench that reads/writes CSV files to a network location. It works fine from my desktop but when published to FME Flow i get permission errors reading and writing.
What user is FME Flow using to read/write to the network? any other workaround
open the Services on the server and there are 4 services running Flow - all can be changed to a user with permissions (not the DB service)
The relevant part of the documentation: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Running_System_Services_Under_Different_Accounts.htm
Notably:
By default, the FME Flow Core, FME Flow Engines, and FME Flow Application Server Windows services run under the local system account, which does not have network permissions.
