Secondary update location Security Permissions

Can anyone tell me what the security permission needs to be for the secondary location?

The 2nd location is on a different server in the same domain.

I do understand that the update manager account needs read access, per documentation, to this different folder but what account is writing to the folder?  This has to be something different and where is this account defined?

  • Hello Navar Holmes,

    is on a different server
    is already there or should be? Gowtham Mani suggested and showed how to add an additional SUM - or do you intend to write to this share from your main server?

    Why this other server as Secondary? Do you expect update issues due to overload of your Primary or are you already encountering issues? In both cases a Secondary might not be the ideal solution.

  • Got my alternate location setup and working.

    And it is working far better than the default location that is off the SEC server.

    I choose not to follow the Sophos setting.  I choose to go with System Admin common sense settings.

    The share is set to everyone full control.

    Security (which really controls the access)

    Everyone - Read Access.  This guarantees all managed endpoints can get their updates.

    Sophos Update Service Manager - Read Access

    A service account that has modify control to update the files.
