Oracle Home User permissions when NetBackup SAN Client is used

To use the NetBackup SAN Client to protect Oracle on Windows, the Oracle user must have administrator privileges. Starting with Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1), Oracle Database on Windows supports the use of Oracle Home User. The Oracle Home User is specified at the time of Oracle Database installation and is used to run the Windows services for the Oracle home. The Oracle Home User that is used to run Windows services is similar to the Oracle user for Oracle Database on Linux.

For more information, refer to the Oracle document "Supporting Oracle Home User on Windows" at the following location:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/win.121/e10714/oh_usr.htm

To use NetBackup SAN Client, make sure to select Use Windows Built-in Account during Oracle Database installation. Making this selection enables the Windows services for the Oracle home to run as LocalSystem or LocalService.
