Account for SSMS?

We just got an updated DB box and I'm working on trying to restore a database from a backup (was a SQL 2008 DB) We are using SQL 2017 and the problem I'm running into is when I go into SSMS 17 to restore the database it doesn't have access to the locations I'm trying to place the data and log files unless ServerName\Users group has access to it , I'd rather not give all the users access to those locations. (the old server was set up that way and we figured now is a good time to fix that).

Is there a specific account that SSMS runs under that I can give permission to? (I'm assuming it's running under a different account because my user account already has permission)
