I have a situation that hopefully someone can assist with. &nbsp;We have three service accounts on our windows server 2012 R2 box that I need to restrict access on. &nbsp;They are currently setup as local admins but for security reasons I need to remove them from this group. &nbsp;They need to have the ability to obtain a port on the server and use that port for transferring data. &nbsp;This is the main use of their role. &nbsp;They are used for our ecommerce website (Located in DMZ) to communicate with our SQL server (Located in LAN). &nbsp;All the servers are in a workgroup environment currently. &nbsp;This would be easier if we spun up a domain controller in the environment and used the domain users but that is not an option right now.<br />
<br />
Can anyone assist with which role on the server will provide the security of these users while allowing them to perform the task they need to.
