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, 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.
l
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.
Upgrading from previous Connect Versions
Users of Connect prior to 2019.1
Users of Connect 1.0 should see "Users of Connect 1.0" on the next page first.

Users of all other Connect versions prior to 2019.1 should note that Update Client 1.2.40 is a
prerequisite for both OL Connect 2019.1 and Connect Workflow 2019.1 installations. Only
Update Client 1.2.40 has the capacity to upgrade the OL Connect license to the newer format
that is required by the installers of those products.
If you do not have Update Client version 1.2.40 installed already, then the next time you run
