Permissions for PlanetPress Connect Designer

PlanetPress Connect Designer does not require any special permissions to run besides 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, but it can also be configured later by modifying permissions for the service. To do this:

  • In Windows, open the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Services (this may depend on your operating system).
  • Locate the service called Serverengine_UUID , where UUID is a series of characters that depend on the machine where the software is installed.
  • Right-click on the service and select Properties.
  • In the Connection tab, define the account name and password that the service should use. This can be a local account on the computer or an account on a Windows Domain. The account must have administrative access on the machine. It should also correspond to the user account set up in PlanetPress Worfklow.
