Execute Teststand as windows-user: which files needed for write-access

Hello,

which files/directories do i have to set for write access?

Normally windows-administrator can access everything.

But a windows-user has for example no write-acces to teststand\Cfg.

So sometimes i get the error-message that a file is write protected.

Is this somewhere explained in the TS-documentation that also a windows-user need write-access? I have this question from a client and i am not sure how exactly it is.

Thx for info

Hi,

 

why don't you give write privileges to the whole TestStand folder?

 

Could you specify where your problems with the user privileges are?

 

Best regards

Hi OnlyOne,

 

With TestStand 4.1 and later, we changed the directories for the TestStand Cfg folder and the TestStand Public folder (formerly called the TestStand Users Directory). These changes allow a normal Windows-User to write to the TestStand Cfg and Public folders without having to specifically grant write permissions.
