OS settings for correct operation of remote administrator’s workstation or server

The user who does not belong to the Administrators group can work with Axxon PSIM correctly if the following requirements are met:

1. UAC (User Account Control) is disabled for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 OS. UAC can be disabled in the Control panel by the administrator of the computer.

   Attention!

   The low position of the Do not notify me slider on the User Account Control parameter page doesn’t mean the full UAC disabling in Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10. Configuration of the local security policy is required to fully disable the UAC. Configuration is performed in the Control panel → Administrating → Local security policy window.

   It is required to disable all policies whose names start with “User Account Control," except for:

   User Account Control: Request action to increase rights for administrators in the mode of administrator approval—set the Increase without request item in the Security parameter value.

   User Account Control: Request action to increase rights for users—set the Account request item in the Security parameter value.

2. The user must have free access to the AxxonSoft branch in the registry section HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\AxxonSoft section for a 32-bit system (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\AxxonSoft for a 64-bit system).
3. The user must have free access to the folder in which Axxon PSIM is installed.
4. The user must have free access to the VIDEO and AUDIO folders on all logical disks in the system.
5. If the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\AxxonSoft\PSIM\BackupFolder key is in the registry for a 32-bit system (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\AxxonSoft\PSIM\BackupFolder for a 64-bit system), free access to the folder specified in the BackupFolder key must be granted to the user. For more information on this key, see Creating the database backup copy.
6. Free access to the following folders is needed if there is no BackupFolder key:
   
   1. C:\ProgramData\—for Windows 7 OS.
   2. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\—for Windows XP OS.
7. The user must have SeCreateGlobalPrivilege rights. Open the Local security policy window (see step 1) (Control panel → Administration), select Local policies → Assign User rights → Global objects creation, and add the existing user to the folder.

8. In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, assign the sysadmin role to the BUILTIN\Users group:

   1. In the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio object explorer, select Security → Logins.

   2. In the BUILTIN\Users context menu, select Properties.

   3. In the properties, select Server Roles and set the sysadmin checkbox, then click OK.
