I am trying to get a build process set up in TeamCity 5, and I am encountering an access denied error when trying to copy some files. I see that my build agent is running as "SYSTEM" now, and I think that's part of the problem. I'd like to change that user identity. The trouble is that I can't figure out how to change those settings on the build agent. How can I change the build user identity?
If a build agent is installed and running on the same computer as the TeamCity build server, it is authorized automatically. Agents are manually enabled/disabled via the web UI. The TeamCity server only distributes builds to agents that are enabled.
On the Administration | Users page, select users, click the Add to groups button at the bottom, and specify the groups to add the users to. Note that all these users will inherit the roles defined for the group.
Agents can be manually enabled/disabled via the web UI by clicking the status icon (1) next to the agent's name. Optionally, you can tell TeamCity to automatically disable/enable the agent after a period of time and enter your comment. TeamCity will follow the instructions and show the comment icon (2).
