I have a sql sql server with SSIS. An agent job executes an ssis pacakge that copies files too and from directories.
I am now converting this to alwaysOn, so planning for permissions.
When the ssis package is run via agent job, which accounts require permissions to read and write to the file directories?
- The agent service account
-TheSQLserviceAccount
-TheSSISServiceAcount

The Agent service account.

The security context is determine by the owner of the job - or the Run As for each step. You can setup a proxy to run specific types of job steps that only have the necessary permissions for that job type.
If the owner of the job is a sysadmin - the job runs in the context of the SQL Server service account. For non-sysadmin owners the job will run in that users context - unless the step is using a proxy account.
I would recommend that all SSIS packages be set to run with a proxy account - that way you can insure the correct permissions transfer across systems and is not reliant upon the service account on each instance.

I don't think that this is correct. SSIS packages execute under the SQL Agent service account details under these circumstances.
