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 net-
work options), then you should have no problems running configurations on different systems using dif-
ferent 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 net-
work 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 pro-
cedure: click on the Tools tab in PReS Workflow Ribbon, then click Configure Services.
Set the PReS Workflow applications permissions as required:
l
Local System account: Select to run all the PReS Workflow Services (including PReS
Workflow, PReS Fax, and PReS Image) under the Local System account. The Local System
account is distinct from the Administrator account. It requires no user name or password, and its
privileges may exceed those of the user currently logged in. Running under this account rather
than a user account prevents problems that may arise if the user lacks a permission the service
requires. If a configuration relies on any resources mapped to a particular user, such as mapped
network drives or shared printers, they are unavailable. It is recommended that you create a con-
figuration for a particular user. Clear the Local System account checkbox to run all the PReS
Workflow Services under the account you specify. Use the options that become available when
you clear Local System account to enter the account information—you must enter a valid user
name and password to use Microsoft Outlook as your email client for Email input and Send email
output tasks.
l
This Account: Provide a domain, user name and password to use instead of the Local System
Account.
