forming 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 net-
work folders, for example, or the right to print on such or such printer.
Local and network rights
Programs, such as PReS Workflow and all their services, must identify themselves in order to be gran-
ted 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 (see "Workflow Services" on the facing
page). When you do this, you grant the PReS Workflow and all its services the same rights associated
with the selected account. It is important to note that PReS Workflow and its services require admin-
istrator 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 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 the PReS Workflow Configuration program: . This is to draw your attention to the fact that
your PReS Workflow may have rights that differ from your rights, and that this application and its ser-
vices 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 PReS Workflow Tools. This will ensure that the 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 applic-
ations 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.
