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 net-
work 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 com-
puters accessible via a network connection. On a given workstation, you can configure your Plan-
etPress Workflow to use either the local system account or any specific user account (see "Workflow
Services" on the facing page). When you do this, you grant the PlanetPress Workflow and all its ser-
vices the same rights associated with the selected 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 has such rights.
When you are running the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program on a workstation, if it is asso-
ciated 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 rights, and that this applic-
ation and its services may therefore not be able to perform some of the actions you can perform when
you create or edit a given configuration.
The simplest thing to ensure that rights are the same across your whole network is to create an admin-
istrator network account especially for PlanetPress Workflow Tools. This will ensure that the Plan-
etPress Workflow and all its services have the same rights on all computers and that it is therefore able
to perform all the actions defined it needs to on every computer on your network. A less permissive solu-
tion is to create an administrator local account for PlanetPress Workflow and to replicate it on each com-
puter where PlanetPress Workflow and its services are likely to perform operations, such as get files,
store files, or run applications and perform operations.
Local settings
Different users may create different printer queues. Let us say you have a big HP printer in your office.
User A creates a printer queue on his system called “Big HP” for that printer, and user B creates one
called “My printer” for the same printer. A configuration created on user A’s system and then used on
user B’s system would generate errors trying to print to the “Big HP” printer queue.
