Permissions for Windows Clusters

To install Windows Cluster services, either a Domain Administrator with cluster access rights is required or you must have an non-Domain Administrator account with the following permissions:

• Permission to Create/Modify/Delete MSFT cluster resources groups
• Permission to configure cluster resource groups such as adding physical and virtual nodes, and changing or moving resource groups
• Permission to Add/Modify/Delete Windows registries
• Permission to Add/Modify/Delete Windows services

Note that Domain Administrator is configured by default.
