# Access Network Shares

For the migration-center Jobserver to access network shares successfully, you need to configure which user is used for this. This is needed when using a network share in the parameter of any connector (i.e. **exportLocation**) or when working with objects that have the content saved on a network share.

There are two main ways of configuring this:

## Using local user account

This method consists of configuring the Jobserver service to run with the **local user account** that you are are currently logged into your Windows session. Afterwards create the entry in the **Credential Manager** to the network share you wish to access. 

Open the **properties** of the migration-center Job Server service and access the **Log On** tab. Select **This account** and enter the details of the user you are currently logged on to:

Then either try to access the network share in Windows Explorer and make sure to check **Remember my credentials** checkbox after entering the account details:

Or access the **Credentials Manager** directly and create a new entry for the network share with the account that has access to it.

## Using domain account

This method consists of configuring the Jobserver service to run with a Active Directory / Domain user and configuring the network share with access for that user directly:

**Mapped network drives** are not visible to applications running as a Windows Service. Therefore avoid using them with migration-center.
