Permissions to a local account on which SQL Server service works

My SQL Server 2005 runs on a local account. Is it neccesary to assign this login in SQL to a System Administrator role?

And is there any difference in SQL Server 2000?

thanks

If you have used SQL Server Configuration Manager to set the service account, you don't need to do anything. The same thing goes for SQL Server 2000, if you have used Enterprise Manager to change the service account. You should avoid changing the service account manually and use instead Configuration/Enterprise Manager.
