When I run the IFL in CD environment, its data files in the backup created do not appear accessible in TBI View from within Windows unless I start TBI View with elevated privileges as admin. This occurs even though I backed up the data to a regular folder without special permissions placed on it. I suppose this is expected behavior, and lit leads me to asking a question about the IFL backup process itself. When IFL runs in the CD environment and I access a network share in order to make a backup onto an attached USB device, what process or service does IFL become in order to access the share?
I am asking this question because I would prefer to create a share accessible to the IFL program but not accessible in general to the Everyone group? So, what group or service does IFL become during the process so that I can limit the share accessibility to it exclusively, if possible? Thanks.

IFL itself doesn't control that. Basically, the file ends up being owned by the user that you log in as when you mount the share from IFL.
