Change User Permission

[Guest jcpub]

Our Business Manager has an upgraded version of DAC Easy. One change

to the upgrade is the user needs to have administrator access. Her

login to the network is a normal user with limited rights. How can I

change her login settings so that she has enough rights to run this

payroll program?

 

For now I have her log off as a user and then we log her in as an

administrator while she runs payroll. I am not concerned with this

person having administrator rights since she is already my backup for

checking the server for overnight backups and various logs when I am

out of the office.

 

Thank you.

Re: Change User Permission

 

You can add her domain account to the local admin group on her PC. This way

she is an administrator on her PC and a "user" on the domain.

 

Of course you should educate this user about the possible problems one can

run into browsing the Internet under an administrator account. You may want

to treat this computer as a possible vector for virus infection on your

domain by making sure it is patched, virus protected and keep the virus

software updated at least weekly.

Download ProcessExplorer from MS (it's a Sysinternals tool) and extract it

to a folder on the workstation's HD

Take away her admin rights.

Log in as her

Use RunAs to launch ProcessExplorer

Try to run the app

 

See where it fails ....you'll need to play with the filter settings to see

where in the registry/file system it's trying to read/write & failing.

As an administrator, change the registry and file system permissions

appropriately so Users have access

 

Oh, and complain loudly to the software developers. This is just plain

sloppy code.
