Moving PC-DMIS from one user to another

[Channy]

Hi Guys,
I've been using PC-DMIS on another person's user for nearly a year now (2013 MR1)

Last time I tried to move from a colleagues user to my own, the IT guy gave me all the admin rights and PC-DMIS just wouldn't save any settings that I changed or anything like that.

Is this a normal issue?

I only ask as currently, the person who's user I am using is coming back to company and so he will need his login back- But I'm worried about them transferring me all the admin rights.

If anyone can shed some light on this I would be so grateful!

Right click on PC-DMIS and click on properties. Then click on the Security Tab, and click on the Edit Button

Choose your user name, if you can, check "Full Control" under "Allow". If these are grayed out, you might have to get your IT guy or gal to change this. Then hit Apply and Ok, That way you don't have to right click and Run as Administrator everytime.

All of the below requires admin rights:

Registry Keys requiring Read/Write/Modify privileges, (FULL).
Select start all programs Accessories Run
In the run box type in regedit and select ok

Below are the paths you will need to add the user for full read permissions:
Please note: in 2016.0 and newer “WAI” is Replaced by “Hexagon”

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\WAI
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WAI
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\WAI
Add each user manually by clicking on Add type in the name search and ok now highlight the name in the top box and check full control and apply and ok


Path entries – the difference is just in application path. 32 bit OS/32bit APP, 64 bit OS/32Bit APP, & 64 bit OS/64 bit APP.
Same

Windows 7 Paths
32 bit OS
C:\Program Files\WAI

C:\ProgramData\WAI

64 bit OS
32 bit APP
C:\Program Files (x86)\WAI
C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\WAI
C:\ProgramData\WAI

64 bit APP

Same controls as registry permissions, slightly different route.
Right-click folder, Properties – Security.
