Post permissions

Ok, we have a laptop which is connected to our network all is ok there, trying to install a new program, installs under admin permissions, share the HDD, share the folder, all is ok give permissions to the user full control of both the HDD and folder.

Log on as the user and they dont get accecss to the program ........why?
This is really frustrating. Oh it's a data base program.

Which version of windows? NT or 2K?
Under NT just copy the link to the program from the admins profile to the users.
2K should work the same way, but I haven't had to try it yet

Install it under the user's log in with the RUNAS command.
I learned that from windrivers - search the boards or the MS knowledge base.

It really sounds like a permissions thing to me.

Is the system holding the database also NT? Is it NTFS and have you also given the user the correct NTFS security access?
Double check when granting access that you tick the box granting access to subdirectories and files.

Ok, yes the os is win2k, with ntfs. I have installed and uninstalled the program 3x, including the registary. The user has full access to the program, read, write, full access. I install the program from the add/remove utility inside of the control pannel under the users profile with admin permissions. Have even changed their permissions to be admin and then changed back again. Under admin everything works fine, under a plain user nada, nothing, no way no how. How do you check to see the users ntfs permissions?

what's the program? if the program is trying to perform an action to the machine that is reserved for an admin, it won't run.

drop the user into power users on the local machine.

Hi all, Thanks for everyones help, still didn't work right so I gave the file admin rights to open up under. Still didnt fix the issue, and patching it like this isn't what security is all about , but it will have to do for now.

Thanks again all who replied.

Hmmm... i'm not sure if this would help... try checking what other files or folders that the apllication might use, and give full rights on those things to the user...
