Get Access to a shared Location to take file as Input On Alteryx

Having some files in a shared folder which we are trying to input using directory tool.

The WF runs fine on designer but when run on Scheduler getting the following error:

Start: Designer x64: Started running at 2021-06-16 08:35:26
Error: Tool #7: Invalid Directory "\\10.101.152.50\samba-share-SAP\Resignation*.csv": You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access. These policies help protect your PC from unsafe or malicious devices on the network. (1272)

Checked the WF Dependencies the test for that folder is going fail

Any idea about how i can get access to that folder in alteryx scheduler.....)

Hi @harshal98

You'll need to set up the Alteryx service that runs the scheduler to log on with a service account that has access to the share. By default, the scheduler will run with the "Local System" account, which has no permissions outside of your computer.

@danilang Thanks. Can you guide me on how this can be done...do i need to make changes in settings of the Alteryx Scheduler?
