The People Planner Service

The People Planner Service is a Windows service. During installation, you are required to specify a Windows account under which it will run.

This can be a local account, or it can be an account that you specially created for this purpose alone.

When the People Planner Service is started, these credentials are validated against the User table of the People Planner Database. This means that the account must also be a People Planner user.

The People Planner Service validates this against the user table:

• The user name is validated against the NetworkUserName property.
• If a match is found, the domain name is then validated against the NetworkDomainName and NetworkDomainAlias fields. If either of these is a match, the user is logged in. Otherwise, the login fails.

See the Deltek People Planner Technical Install Guide for more details about how to install the People Planner Service and configure the account.
