What is the 'Deployment Application Pool Account'


Badge +3

I have finally had a chance to install the 4.5 version of blackpoint.  It was single server, so relatively painless - once I had added my SharePoint application pool account to the Farm Administrator's group (against the advice of the configuration checker, mind you).


But I came across reference to this beast in the documentation - the 'Deployment Application Pool Account'.  There is no information on what this is or how you define it.   It sounds like something that might take away some of the pain of security and deployments, which would be a very good thing!


Anyone know if this entity exists and how to configure him (or her even)?

The deployment application pool account is the application pool account which will be used if you are deploying workflows from the Silverlight Workflow designer for SharePoint.

So it is the SharePoint app pool account related to the site that the Silverlight app is running in.


Makes sense in retrospect.  The K2 for SharePoint Environment Setup document confused me somewhat and left everything rather unclear.


Thanks for taking the time to set me straight.
