PReS 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 solution is to create an administrator local account for PReS Workflow and to
replicate it on each computer where PReS 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.
Different users may also map network drives differently. Let us say this time that you have a
server in your office. User A maps that server’s main drive using drive letter “y:” while user B
maps it using drive letter “z:” A configuration created on one system and then used on the other
would both get and save the wrong files from the wrong drives. Note that such situations may
be avoided by using the Universal Naming Convention option.
User specificity
PReS Workflow configurations are not user specific as such. If you make sure that all the user
accounts have adequate network rights, that printer queues are defined the same way on all
systems, and that all network drives are mapped using the same drive letters (or that the UNC
option is selected in the network options), then you should have no problems running
configurations on different systems using different user accounts.
Workflow Services
To be able to run and to have access to local files as well as to files available on other
computers in your network, PReS Workflow applications and services must identify themselves
using a local or network account.
The first time you start the PReS Workflow Configuration program, the application automatically
asks you to choose an account (see below).
You can also manually start this procedure from the PReS Workflow Tools by following this
procedure: click on the Tools tab in PReS Workflow Ribbon, then click Configure Services.
