Network considerations
While PReS Workflow is typically installed on a server machine that is only accessed by one
single user such as an IT person, multiple users logging on to that machine is a possibility
(except with terminal servers, see "Environment considerations" on page18). Because each
user may have different local and network rights, it may be important to consider the
implications in regards to PReS Workflow. To change the service log on information, see
"Workflow Services" on page909.
Local and network rights
Programs, such as PReS Workflows 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 PReS Workflow to use either the local system account or any specific user
account. When you do this, you grant PReS Workflow and all its services the same rights
associated with the selected account.
When you are running PReS 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 PReS Workflow Configuration program: . The icon reminds you that
the logon information is different for the PReS Workflow services, and that some network
resources may not be accessibly by PReS Workflow when running a live configuration.
Account requirements
PReS 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 PReS 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
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 by the PReS
