# Windows permissions

By default, Qlik Replicate must be installed as an Administrator. After installing Qlik Replicate, you can opt to run Replicate under a different account, as described in [Running Replicate under a different account](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/May2026/Content/Replicate/Main/Installation/limited_permissions.htm#Running).
