implications in regards to PlanetPress Workflow. To change the service log on information, see
"Workflow Services" on page763.
Local and network rights
Programs, such as PlanetPress Workflow and all its 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. When you do this, you grant PlanetPress Workflow and all its services the same rights
associated with the selected account.
When you are running 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 PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program: . The icon reminds you
that the logon information is different for the PlanetPress Workflow services, and that some
network resources may not be accessibly by PlanetPress Workflow when running a live
configuration.
Account requirements
PlanetPress Workflow and its services require administrator rights to run on any given
computer and must therefore be associated with an account that has such rights.
We recommend creating a network or domain account specifically for the PlanetPress
Workflow services, which has administrator credentials on the machine where it is installed,
and is given proper rights for any network resources your configuration may request.
Mapped drives
It is strongly recommended to use local folders instead of mapped drives whenever possible.
Mapped drives (for example, drive X: leading to \\server\public\) are always user-specific and
are created at logon. This means that mapped drives are typically not available to the
PlanetPress Workflow services when running a live configuration.
Furthermore, while the mapped drives are not shared, they are still limited to one map per
computer, meaning if one user maps the X: drive, a different user (or a service) will not be able
