Assign Permission
The SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Farm Administrator is the only account where you need to assign permission manually.
SQL Server Service Account
- Permission are assigned automatically during installation of the database server.
- This should be a domain account and is used to run the database server.
SharePoint Farm Administrator
- You need to manually assign permissions.
- The Farm Administrator is used to install Sand configure harePoint Server Subscription Edition.
- The SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Farm Administrator has to be a member of the administrators group on every server SharePoint should be installed.
This account also needs the securityadmin and dbcreator role:
- "If you run Windows PowerShell cmdlets that affect a database, this account must be a member of the db_owner fixed database role for the database." [1]
- If I create a development environment I also assign the sysadmin role during setup so I have only one account I need to administrate different servers.
SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Farm Account
Permissions are automatically assigned by the SharePoint Server Subscription Edition Farm Administrator so you don’t have to do it.
The farm account is used for the following things [1]:

- Do not enable auto-create statistics on SharePoint content databases.
- Do not manually restrict database size.

If your server where you want to install SharePoint can't connect to the internet you need to download the following prerequisites for offline use:

Otherwise just run the installer on every Windows Server where you want to install SharePoint as described below:
