Preparing file servers for FSA

For placeholder shortcut creation on a Windows platform, the Vault Service account must have the following access rights:

Local administrator rights on the file server
Full control on the share that is configured as the target volume

Optionally, the Vault Service account also requires browse permissions on the target folders, and on any folders in the paths to the target folders. If these optional permissions are not set, the administrator is unable to browse in the Administrator Console for the target folder, and so must specify the path by typing it in.
