# Update the logon account for OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights services

On each processing agent host machine in a cluster assigned to process data, the log on account for the OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights services must be in the host's Administration group and can logon as a service.

NOTE: The user account must be a local or domain account and have the Logon as a service permission. This can be the admin user used to install the agent, but is not required.

If utilizing a web proxy, log into the agent host machine as the specified user and configure the system proxy information as appropriate. You can do so using Microsoft Edge network connection settings, Chrome network connection settings, or “Internet Options” in the control pane.

Complete this task after the agent is installed on the host machine and the necessary integration or connection requirements are in place.
