SolarWinds Service Accounts

The following link states that; "By default, our services run under the NETWORK SERVICE account".

Run SolarWinds products as domain service account - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

On my test Orion server with NPM, every SolarWInds service is running as 'Local System'.

I take it that the link is incorrect, but I'd like clarity on this as the two accounts have quite different permission sets.

also, they forget to mention the connection service account for the SQL service account. it uses a service account that we have to change the password to for accessing the database.  SCCM is able to do this with a GMSA so what gives Solarwinds?
