15 | | Two user accounts will be created, one to execute boinc.exe, and one that boinc.exe can use to launch science applications. |
16 | | |
17 | | Users: |
18 | | |
19 | | {{{ |

24 | | Both 'boinc' and 'boinc_project' will be setup so that their passwords never expire. |
| 15 | The installer offers two modes: 'Graphics compatible' and 'Secure'. |
| 16 | If the user selects Secure, |
| 17 | two accounts and three groups will be created: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | boinc_master:: The core client runs under this account. |
| 20 | boinc_project:: Apps and graphics app run under this account. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | If the computer being installed upon is a domain controller, |
| 23 | then the account names will have the computer name appended on to them. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Groups: |
| 26 | |
| 27 | boinc_admins:: Members of this group can change the configuration and protection settings for the BOINC client (for example the GUI RPC password and host list) and can also run the BOINC Manager and screensaver. |
| 28 | boinc_users:: Members of this group can run the BOINC Manager and screensaver. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Initially, each group contains the following members: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | || boinc_admins || Administrator [[BR]] <Installing User> [[BR]] 'boinc_master' || |
| 33 | || boinc_users || Everyone (is 'Allow everyone to use BOINC' is checked), else empty || |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Both account are set up so that their passwords never expire. |
