During the installation you can select the directory for data storage. Kofax Search and Matching Server maintains three subdirectories for storing database related files. The "Databases" directory contains the necessary files for all configured fuzzy indexes. The "Upload" directory contains database text files that were uploaded from users through the Administration application. The "Log" folder contains log files and its access is not restricted.

By default, the access to the "Databases" and the "Uploads" subdirectories is restricted to the "NETWORK SERVICE" user. It is sufficient to grant the read and write access to these directories to only the service account that runs the Kofax Search and Matching Server. If the user account that is running the Kofax Search and Matching Server is changed to a different user then the access permissions to these two directories must be adjusted accordingly.
