Are full admin rights required to generate webhelp in RH8?

My team has used RoboHelp for the past 10+ years, upgrading as needed. We were granted full admin rights on our PCs by our IT department several years ago so that our HTML webhelp would generate properly using RH5. We have now upgraded to RH8 but the IT department is going to take away our full admin rights. 
Do we still need full admin rights on our PCs to generate HTML webhelp projects in RH8?  The Installing and Activating RoboHelp topic on www.grainge.org is not clear on this.
We typically copy the entire RH8 project to our C drive, work and generate there and then move them back to our company network drive for deployment.
If someone can help claify for us it would be great.

The answer is no, admin rights are not required to generate webhelp or any other output. They are required to install RoboHelp but are not required thereafter. You do of course need write permissions for the folder to which you are generating but that should be on your hard disk and therefore automatic.
Your IT department can check your permissions.

  • Admin rights required to run vi's?

    I am using Labview 6.x on a shared pc running Windows2000 SP1.
    In order to run vi's anyone on the box must be an Admin. If they are
    not setup as Admin, the vi will not run. We don't want all users to
    have full admin rights to the drive. Any ideas?

    The Help file for Win 2000 indicates that you can have file/directory level access rights if your harddrive is NTFS (I assume you can't do this with FAT/FAT32). Be sure to set up "standard user"s under Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> User and Passwords. Once
    this is done you should be able to set individual user permission rights for files/folders.

  • File Vault Useless when Other User Has Full Admin Rights?

    Question:
    I'm about to send my MacBook Pro in for service. I've backed it up to a bootable clone, but I'd still rather not erase all my stuff, in case they send it back as-is (they do sometimes do that if they don't have to reinstall OSX).
    So, I've given the guest user account full admin privileges on this machine and created it without a password so the AppleCare boys can do what they need to do.
    My question is, is my account secure if it is password protected and encrypted with File Vault?
    Or, if somebody was feeling malicious, couldn't they just reset the password for my account in the guest account preferences or create a new master password for the machine, since the guest account has full admin rights?
    Thanks for any quick answers!

    Hi bscepter;
    If you are that paranoid about your data, the best
    thing for you to do is to remove it off of the
    machine before you send it in.
    Allan
    I'm not "that paranoid" about my data. I was merely curious if File Vault would protect my data should somebody with another admin account want to access or delete it. I mentioned this in my initial post.
    But thanks, anyway.

  • Firefox 3.6.15 is not downloading on MAC OSX, not via software update nor via manual download. It claims i do not have full admin rights which is not true.

    If I do a manual download via FF website, it starts to install, asking if I want to replace an older version of FF. If I then continue, it says that it cannot process as I do not have access to 'certain components'????
    I have full admin rights, it is f... my computer. I am running a Macbook Pro on OSX 10.6.6.
    FF is giving me more problems lately, a.o. not showing certain flash elements (have latets flashplayer). Anyone else getting annoyed with FF?

    I eventually did an archive and install to get 10.4.7 installed on my MBP the last time around. Now 10.4.8 is doing the same thing. Neither via Software Update nor manual downloads of Intel delta or combo updaters will apply. Arg!
    Has anyone else seeen this? I've tried applying the update while booted regularly and also in safe boot to no avail.

  • Are enterprise admin and schema admin rights required after installation?

    Hi,
    Exchange 2010 has been installed in our organisation a few years ago, and is running fine. Exchange was installed with an account with enterprise and schema admin rights. I have just found out that this account still has those rights, I think that this isn't
    necessary, and is in fact een security risk. I think that membership of Exchange Organization Administrators and Organization Management plus domain admin rights is enough. Am I right or does this account really need enterprise and schema admin rights?

    Yes you are correct. You will need schema admin rights when installing service packs though.

  • AAM Won't Install - Admin Rights Required

    Hi Folks,
    Win7 64bit.
    I've just signed up for Creative Cloud and am trying to install the AAM so I can access a few Adobe installers and get setup.  I just crossgraded from Photoshop 5 CS and Dreamweaver, both of which previously installed no problem.   To access CC applications, you have to download and install the AAM.   When installing, it tells me admin permissions are required.   I've tried right-clicking and running as administrator - same error.   I've tried to run the MS fixit tool - no change.   I've tried to install Adobe Air, it won't install - it hangs on the EULA screen by opening more of the same screen over and over.  
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?   This is a new-ish machine and nothing has changed on it since installing PS CS5 and DW a few months back.  
    Many thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Hi Taurn,
    The issue seemed to be resolved until I tried to open the AAM today, when it began again to do it's self-update process, and again it's failing due to admin priviledges.      I have a trial of LIghtroom that was the work around until it was added to the Creative Cloud offering - and now it's expired, and I can't install through the AAM because it won't, again, update itself.  I've tried all of the suggestions found on the forum - firewall off - entry in the firewall for PDAPP.exe, new Admin account on my system.    
    Would you have any suggestions for me?  I simply want to use the software as it was intended.     
    And I'm going to miss a deadline while I try to get this working again.....   I will be glad when the Creative Cloud (brilliant idea on paper) system works as it should.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
    Rob

  • Are local Administrator rights required to install or run the following pieces of software

    Hello,
    I was wondering if you would be able to assist me. I am currently cataloging various bits of software in use within our company and need to know if they a) require local administrator rights to install on a computer and b) require local administration rights to run after being installed.
    The pieces of software in question are:
    Blackberry Desktop Manager Version 4.3.0.15
    Blackberry Enterprise Server Version 4.1.3.18
    Any assistance gratefully received, or if you could point me in the direction of who I should be asking that would be great.

    Superb detail, thank you.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Have any of you used "stills" inserted into your project? Are there copy right requirements?

    Thank you for any help in advance.

    Tom,
    Thank you for your reply.  What I am asking is if it is out on the internet, like a news image, do I need to get permission?  If so, have you ever done that?  Also, sorry for all the questions, what format should the still be in to insert best into the project timeline?
    Thank you again,

  • CC now requires admin rights, why?

    we have a group of CC accounts that sit behind a corporate firewall on managed machines.  up until today all CC elements were installing correctly and without a problem.  we had to open up the ports to adobe at first, but all has been running smoothly.
    Now however, if I open CC desktop, I am prompted with an update or quit message, if I try to update I now get told that I do not have sufficient admin rights.  in truth I never did! I never needed them for adobe CC.  So why the change?
    To save me the painstaking exercise of asking IT to try and find out what can be done.  Does anyone know what can be done to fix this problem... 
    what do I need to ask IT to do?
    Don't say give full admin rights!
    I can't believe Adobe would force a requirement for admin rights, potentially barring the corporate client market.
    Any help appreciated,
    thanks

  • Installation Server and Windows 7 - Admin Rights Issue

    Here is a good one.  Completely reproducible error when granting Local Admin Rights by the LSH Service.
    For those with SAPGui Installation Server (SAPGui 7.20 Patch 6 or above) ... try this on a Windows 7 SP1 front end when you are NOT logged on with local admin rights.
      1) Open the Windows RUN dialog
      2) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe
      3) You should find the install wizard starts (granting local admin rights) as expected.
    NOW TRY THIS
      1) Type path to your installation server\setup\nwsapsetup.exe /uninstall
      2) You will find that you get a dialog about can't grant admin rights. Un-install will abort.
    This only appears to happen with the /uninstall switch!  Using /product= for example it will still grant admin rights.
    BIZZARE ...
    I've opened a Customer Support Message (Friday) priority - MEDIUM  have not heard back from SAP Support yet.
    Bob

    Jude,
    Thanks, it looks like that note has been getting a lot of update activity lately because the newly released Patch 8 has nwsapsetup.exe as version:  8.6.1.62   and that version also has the issue with the /nnnnnn switches. 
    I do have to say however, that this issue with nwsapsetup.exe and admin rights (requiring SapSetup.exe_Patch) first appeared with the release of Patch 6 for the Gui.  It was fixed for WinXP (I had a customer support message opened on this).  So why didn't anyone also test on Win7?
    Who is QA-ing these software releases? 
    Patch 8 had the same problem. 
    The change log for SapSetup.exe_Patch, is up to 8.1.6.70 now. 
    How are we in large enterprises to feel comfortable deploying any of this?
    End of rant ....
    Bob
    P.S. I really appreciate your presence here ... the tech assigned to my formal Support Message on the matter still has not gotten back advising of the updated release of SapSetup.exe_Patch.

  • Can't update. Message says I don't have all permissions, yet have admin rights for imac running 10.5.8 & checked preference, security settings.

    Trying to update. When I drag ff icon to apps folder message says replace or stop. Answer replace, then message says can't complete as I don't have permissions. I have full admin rights for imac running 10.5.8. I've reviewed preferences & security settings, FF is set to accept all incoming connections. Not sure what else to check.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Lost admin rights - install Canon software

    I've been trying to install a Canon Digital Solutions disc, and keep receiving the same error - I don't have the necessary access privileges, please log out and log in as an administrator.
    The account that I am using has full admin rights, and I have not made any changes to the computer since purchasing it, except for uploading software updates. The computer already came with v10 of the Mac OS, which appears to be a cause of a lot of the faults that I can find.
    Can anyone help, I'm new to Mac's and don't want to start messing around with the back end if this can be helped. Of course, to make it better, I am not in my home country, and therefore don't have access any of my software discs for a couple of weeks.

    All three show that I do have admin rights, in terms that I have the short name, then underneath have 'Admin' in the line underneath.
    I have another account that is called Guest, which has the text 'Login, Sharing' so I assume that this is the access for each account. My apologies, all Mac terminologies are new to me.
    I can 'print screen' (to use a windows terminology) if you can inform me of how this function works on a MacBook.

  • Subscription - Win7 Installs without Admin rights, shortcuts do not work

    I have a Cloud Subscription and have been trying to get things up and running on my PC running Win7 - 64bit.
    The Manager downloads and installs the apps, but it appears to do this without Admin rights. i.e.
    In the "All Programs" shortcut listing they are shown but without an icon (Just white)
    If I try to delete the shorcut I am not allowed to stating that I need Admin Rights... even though I am the only user and of course therefore also have full Admin Rights.
    The links do not open the applications.
    I have set the install path to C:\Program Files\Adobe, but they appear to be installed in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe !
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows then C:\Program Files(x86) would be the correct location to install.  As for your Admin rights if you are sure you have full admin rights please try temporarily disabling your User Account Control.

  • User with no admin rights can not  authenticate on wikis or blogs

    I just set up my OD and proceeded to add users in the workgroup manager. I create an account for myself and gave it full admin rights under the privileges tab (in work group manager). I then created a test user account and gave it no privileges. My admin account can log on to wiki's and create blogs but my test account can not, It wont let me log in to any of the wiki's it's assigned to or set up a blog. I set the test account to have full privileges and then I was able to do these things.
    I had this set up correctly before the 10.5.2 update came out and crashed my server, I had to re-install the OS and start from scratch again.
    Any thoughts on what's wrong?
    Thank You,
