Chapter 8: Preparing for your Dragon Group client installation
Assigning access
To ensure that your Dragon Group network components can communicate with each other and that the
network can function properly, you must assign permissions to all appropriate directories and access rights to
administrator and user accounts on servers and clients as indicated below.
Location or registry key

Assigning permissions
Clients
To ensure every dictating user has appropriate access to his or her user profile, you must give full
read/write/modify permissions to all files and directories housing the Roaming user profiles, even through
http or https connections. This level of permission/access ensures that when the user dictates, Dragon can
interact with the Roaming user profiles effectively.
Each Windows user account that logs in to the Dragon client workstation should also have read/write/modify
access to the Roaming user profiles, since the Dragon client frequently modifies these profiles.
Roaming user profiles
Be sure that when you set up the Roaming user profiles directory, you locate it either on a Windows machine
or on a device connected to a Windows machine with .NET Framework 4.0 installed on it.
In Nuance Management Center 5.0, the NMC server supports deployments on standard ports (443/80). The
NMC server examines the standard ports to see if they are available. If they are not, it defaults back to the
normal custom ports (8051 and 8731).
