Note
If you send a new configuration when PlanetPress Workflow is paused, it will continue using
the old configuration when you resume processing until you stop and restart it.
To resume your PlanetPress Workflow service after pausing it:
1. Click Tools in the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon.
2. Click Resume in the Services Status group. The PlanetPress Workflow Tool service
starts performing jobs again.
Users and configurations
When a user opens a session on a computer, they typically need to log in. When they do so, a
session is opened and customized for them on that computer (certain drive letters and network
shortcuts may be mapped, local and network printers may be made available, etc.).
Furthermore, local and network rights may be granted to them: the right to get documents from -
and to put documents in - local or network folders, for example, or the right to print on such or
such printer.
Local and network rights
Programs, such as PlanetPress Workflow and all their services, must identify themselves in
order to be granted permission to perform operations on the computer on which they run as well
as on other computers accessible via a network connection. On a given workstation, you can
configure your PlanetPress Workflow to use either the local system account or any specific user
account (see "Workflow Services" on page582). When you do this, you grant the PlanetPress
Workflow and all its services the same rights associated with the selected account (this is true
of all services with the exception of the PlanetPress Workflow Messenger which always uses
the local system account). It is important to note that PlanetPress Workflow and its services
require administrator rights to run on any given computer and that they must therefore be
associated with an account that as such rights.
When you are running the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program on a workstation, if it is
associated with an account that is different from your account, the following icon is displayed in
the lower right corner of the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program: . This is to draw
your attention to the fact that your PlanetPress Workflow may have rights that differ from your
