The eG tests should be configured with the credentials of a user who belongs to the following groups on the eG agent host:

• Administrators

• WSS_ADMIN_WPG

To add a user to these groups, do the following:

2. Click Start and right-click on the Computer option. Pick the Manage option from the shortcut menu that appears.

3. In the screen that appears, expand the Configuration node in the left panel of ignore, expand its Local Users and Groups sub-node, and click the Groups node within. The right panel will then display all the groups configured on the eG agent host.

4. Browse the list of local groups to locate any of the groups listed.

5. Once the required group is found, click on that group in the right panel. Groups window will then appear listing the users in that group. To add a user to that group, click the Add button.

6. After adding the user, click the Apply and OK buttons to save the changes. 

7. Repeat steps 4-6 to add that user to each of the groups listed.
