Permission Problem?

[acrowe]

Good evening.

I'm trying to run sage default as a limited user in XP Pro. I have gotten it to run fine as an admin, but every time I try as a limited user I receive a "Please run as admin first to register..." error.

I tried setting the limited user to an admin and everything worked fine, but when they get set back to a limited user they no longer can access the license file correctly (or so I sumise).

Can anyone help? I'm sure its a quick fix, but I'm not able to figure iut out (I'm sure I'll have a D'Oh moment once the fix is pointed out though )

Thanks!

I think you'll find out the user needs admin rights. I know when Sage is run as a service that user needs admin rights. Maybe have the Sage service run with the admin user and have the limited user run the Sage program on the server.

I'm having this exact same problem with Sage Client. I install with admin priviliges, the license is validated and stored, and I can run the client.

However, non-admin users get the error "Please run this program from the Administrator account so it can set up your license. Once the license is set up, you can run it from any account."

The first sentence has already been followed, but the second sentence is not happening. Giving my users admin priviliges is absolutely not an option.

Has any one else seen this problem? What was the solution?

I never figured out a way around it. I even tried running the service as an admin user, but no go. I finally just made the account an admin and hardended the box from the internet even more. Here's to hoping the next windows bug doesn't hit this box.

go to www.sysinternals.com, and use the file monitor and registry monitor to find out what is being failed, and then adjust your permissions for those files / entries manually. YMMV because I run sage as admin, but this will be your best chance without knowing what it is they are trying to access.

I second that.

I too had this issue. I fixed it just now by doing the following as the restricted access user (I'm running XP Pro):
*My original desktop shortcut to Sage told me "access denied", so I found
the Sage app on my hard drive and created a new shortcut to it on the desktop.
*I edited the properties of the shortcut. On the Shortcut tab, click Advanced and check the box to "Run with different credentials"
*Double click the icon and it'll ask you which user to run it as. Choose an account with administrator rights and enter the password.
Sage runs.

This is only a half solution really, as you have to enter the password each time you launch Sage. However if you were to create a specific Sage account to run it as that had administrator rights but you denied logon locally in the local security policy (an admin control panel), perhaps it would still work without letting that account actually log in as a full user?

Anyway, it's a step in the right direction.
