User accounts and security
Windows user account
Connect requires local Windows Administrator rights when installing the software and
activating the software license. This is to allow read/write access to protected Windows folders
and registry entries.
Once installed Connect requires only standard Windows user credentials to run.
The following links contain the details as to when and where Windows Administrator rights are
required:
l Connect Installation: "Installation Wizard" on page38
l Activating Connect: "Activating PlanetPress Connect" on page58
Permissions for PlanetPress Connect Designer
PlanetPress Connect Designer does not require any special permissions to run besides that of
a regular program.
It does not require administrative rights and only needs permission to read/write in any folder
where templates or data mapping configurations are located .
If generating Print output, PlanetPress Connect Designer requires permission on the printer or
printer queue to send files.
Permissions for PlanetPress Connect Server
The PlanetPress Connect Server module, used by the Automation module, requires some
special permissions to run. These permissions are set during installation, in the Engine
Configuration portion of the "Installation Wizard" on page38, but it can also be configured later
by modifying permissions for the service. To do this:
l In Windows, open the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Services (this may
depend on your operating system).
l Locate the service called Serverengine_UUID , where UUID is a series of characters that
depend on the machine where the software is installed.
l Right-click on the service and select Properties.
