The Zenoss 4.2.5 admin guide states that local admin permissions are needed for the zWinUser account that is used with the Windows zenpacks, but the Zenoss blog states that for the new Microsoft Windows zenpack a least privileged user is okay, http://blog.zenoss.com/2014/10/new-microsoft-windows-zenpack-simplifies-....

My question is, I plan to use the Microsoft Windows zenpack, and want to use the least priviliged user, but will be using basic authentication with https, and not kerberos. What level permissions does my monitoring user account on Windows need
