Permission the data sources in your directory for this one account.Do not add the account that you create to any Active Directory security groups that needlessly elevate the permissions for the account. Specifically, when you create an account in Active Directory, create an account in the domain User Group.

Replacing the default Run As local account (NetworkService) with a domain account For information on best practices when creating a Run As service account, see Creating the Run As service account. Using a domain account that is not a member of these administrator groups is a good security practice and can help avoid access to certain data sources and folders. Instead we recommend using a domain user account that is not an administrator for the Run As service account. The account you use for the Run As service account should not be a member of the Local Administrators or Domain Administrators account.
