Hardware Configuration in MAX when not logged in as Administrator

[PaulHartin]

I am attempting to load a .cfg file for a VME device through the Hardware Configuration option on MAX.  When you are not logged in as an administrator, the option is greyed out.  I do not have the option of always running this as an administrator.  However, I can set special permissions on certain folders or registry keys if necessary to allow non-administrators access to those locations in order to get the hardware configuration to work in MAX.

Does anybody know what special permissions would need to be set?

Hi Pual,

What operating system are you using? I’m not sure if there are additional specific files or registry keys, but could you give your use full control over the Measurement and Automation Explorer program?  Let me know if you can test that out.

Thanks for the reply.  As it turns out, being in Power User mode fixed the problem, which I can set all users as power users, just not administrators.
