Minimum rights for a user to run SQL Server service?

Hi fellows
I was just wondering what the minimum rights a local user
must have to be able to run the MSSQLserver service.
Have been using a user that is administrator on the server
but now i would like to know what the minimum requirments
are for running MSSQLServer service are?
Absolut minimum :-)
Thanks in advance

You could run the MSSQLServer service account as LocalSystem, no user
account required...
This article does a good job of outlining the account requirements to
properly lock down SQL Server server.

Steve|||If you go to SQL Server download and download Books On Line SP3. This will
tell you what rights the account needs. Search for "Setting up Windows
Services Accounts" and you will fin all the info you need.

Look inside your SQL Server files with SQL File Explorer.
