Could not Create Publication

Hi,
I created 2 windows user named PublishUser and ReplSnapAgent with less
previllege. Ran SSMS using PublishUser and created snapshot publication.
Used RepSnapAgent user as Snapshot Agent. I got an error saying
SQL Server could not create publication 'Product'. (New Publication Wizard)
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Proxy "Computer-Name\ReplSnapAgent" is not a valid Windows user.
Changed database context to 'ReplTesting'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Is anybody else help me out in solving this issue?
Is ReplSnapAgent a local user account on the computer Computer-Name? Is it
in the dbo_role on the distribution database and the publication?
