a &gL9Jp= service account with the following permissions:
o Login as batch job rights on the interface server
o Read-only access to data sources (database replicas with <5 second delay
preferred)
• Required data sources:
• CAD system
• SQL database for interface logging, either:
o A customer -provisioned SQL database the 8g(9d9= service account has
R/UV access to
