Run app without administrator permissions

Hello Everyone,

 

We have applied a policy that has removed our administrator permissions.

Its possible to execute the application without admin rights?

 

Thanks a lot!

I've found the solution :

 

  • For new installations non-admin users need to be given read and write permissions to KEPServerEX application data folder (default: C:\ProgramData\Kepware\KEPServerEX 6\).
    • Without these permissions they will not be able to launch the Administration or Configuration utilities, nor the runtime service in interactive mode
  • For upgrade installations the installer does not alter permissions 
    • by default any standard windows user will continue to be able to use the application
    • the user should refer to the documentation on setting up Active Directory permissions to lock down access to the Application Data folder

 

regards,
