# How to make sure Universal Copy Service is configured to Log On as a standard (non-admin) account
Universal Copy Service (UCS) is used to copy raw run files to the correct locations. To do this in a secure manner, it is important that UCS is running with standard user permissions. The instructions provided below show how to confirm that the settings are correct on Windows instruments.
**For NovaSeq 6000**
On the NovaSeq 6000, the **Illumina Universal Copy Service** runs as a process and uses the currently logged in account. To perform sequencing, always login with a standard (non-administrator) account.
To verify you are sequencing using a standard account:
* Login to the instrument using the account you plan to perform sequencing with
* Follow the guide [How to check if a Windows account is a standard or administrator account](/instrumentation/general/instrumentation-general-reference_material-list/000007826.md)
**For Benchtop Windows 10 Instruments**
**Note**: The instructions for confirming and changing UCS log on credentials will vary based on the Local Run Manager version installed, see below for guidance on each version.
***To check the LRM version currently installed:***
Open the Local Run manager application and the version should be displayed at the bottom of the page:
***For instruments running Local Run Manager v4.x:***
Services credentials should be updated directly from Local Run Manager, via the *System Settings* menu:
1. Log in to LRM using an admin account;
2. Go to the "**Tools**" menu on the top of the screen and select "**System Settings**" (Figure 1);
3. From the "System Settings" menu, go to the "SERVICE ACCOUNTS" tab and select "**Windows Account**" for "Universal Copy Service" and enter the Windows account credentials with user privileges (sbsuser for example) and click "Save" (Figure 2):

***For instruments running Local Run Manager v3.x:***
Follow the steps below to ensure that **Illumina Universal Copy Service** Windows service is configured to **Log On As** a standard or administrator Windows account.
1. Log into Windows using the **sbsadmin** (or other administrator) account.
2. Open the Windows **Services** app.
* Select the **Windows Icon** in the lower left.
* Begin typing "Services" and the **Services Desktop App** will appear in the results.
* Select **Open** (Figure 3).

3. Locate the **Illumina Universal Copy Service** within the list of services. Make note of the account name in the **Log On As** tab (.\*\*MyUser\*\* in this example) (Figure 4).

4. For the UCS account identified above, perform the corresponding action below to ensure UCS is configured to **Log On As** a standard account:
1. **Local Service**
* No action required.
2. **Local System** (factory default)
* Change UCS service to Log On As the Local Service account
3. **.\sbsadmin**
* Change UCS service to Log On As a new or existing standard account (i.e. sbsuser) ***AND*** [Cache network storage credentials within standard account](/instrumentation/general/instrumentation-general-reference_material-list/000007828.md)
4. **.\sbsuser**
* [Check if .\sbsuser is a standard user](/instrumentation/general/instrumentation-general-reference_material-list/000007826.md)
* ***IF***standard: No action required.
* ***IF*** administrator: [Downgrade .\sbsuser from an administrator to a standard account](/instrumentation/general/instrumentation-general-reference_material-list/000007827.md)
5. **All Other accounts** (On or Off-domain)
* [Check if Log On As account is a standard account](/instrumentation/general/instrumentation-general-reference_material-list/000007826.md)
* ***IF*** standard: No action required.
* ***IF*** administrator:
* [Downgrade Log On As account from an administrator to a standard account](/instrumentation/general/instrumentation-general-reference_material-list/000007827.md) (may impact some LRM Modules) ***OR...***

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/instrumentation/general/instrumentation-general-reference_material-list/000007852.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
