Windows security requirements
AMS Device Manager installation
Installation of AMS Device Manager has these security requirements:
• Local or domain administrator rights for the PC(s) on which AMS Device
Manager is to be installed.
• If you are installing AMS Device Manager on a PC that has the correct version of
SQL Server and the Emerson2008 named instance (see
“Database–Microsoft
SQL Server 2008” on page 25), you need to know the SQL Server ‘sa’ account
password, if a password other than the default (42Emerson42Eme) has been
set.
• During the AMS Device Manager installation, the Use simple file sharing
(Windows XP) option is automatically disabled. To avoid any AMS Device
Manager operational issues, leave this option disabled.
Other network security requirements may also apply to the installation. Contact your
network administrator for more information.
AMS Device Manager use
The AMS Device Manager installation creates the AMSDeviceManager Windows user
group on the PC. Members of this group have all the permissions necessary to
operate AMS Device Manager. The Windows user must be a member of this group on
all AMS Device Manager stations. Windows users must be members of the
AMSDeviceManager group before their properties can be changed in User Manager.
To add a new user, see the
“Usernames and passwords” procedures beginning on
page 111.
