Minimum Windows rights needed for windows account administration in Laserfiche

asked on February 4, 2014

 

So I have a Client whose IT does not want to administer adding/setting new users up in Laserfiche. However they also do not want the user that does this to have any sort of elevated windows rights.

 

Now the user has full rights for everything in Laserfiche, but when she is in the admin client she doesn’t see the column that shows the full windows account name, nor does she have the “Directory Named User” rights on each individual’s machine. She is also missing "server settings", "all sessions" and "named user and devices" (even when logged into the server directly). 

 

I also asked about using windows groups to manage these users but the Windows admin doesn't want to take this approach and wants to completely hands off. 

 

So what windows rights at minimum does he need to the windows login the designated laserfiche admin uses?

Has the user been configured as a System Manager?  That doesn't require any additional Windows rights, but it does affect whether the user sees the Server Settings, All Sessions, and Named Users and Devices nodes in the Administration Console.

 

There's more information on the System Manager page in the Laserfiche Administration Guide, and in Adding and Removing System Managers for the desktop Administration Console, or Adding and Removing System Managers for the Web Administration Console.

(And just as an FYI, the reason why it may appear to be a Windows rights issue is that people who are local administrators on the Laserfiche Server computer are automatically System Managers. But if someone isn't a local administrator, you can manually add them as a System Manager without modifying their Windows rights--it's not necessary to add them to the local admins group.)

Thank you.

 

I don't think I've ever ran into this situation before with an IT department, so I've never had to research how to do this.

You've verified that she has all rights and privileges assigned in Laserfiche? I don't think any additional Windows permissions are needed. There could also be a custom view involved that's hiding certain nodes.

 

Our network management team didn't want to deal with group management for our various applications. So they gave each application team their own OU within which we have permissions to create and modify groups.

I think that if the user is not a member of the "System Managers" in the Laserfiche Server, they would not have access to the "Server Settings", "All Sessions", or "Named Users and Devices" nodes.

 

With the Windows Accounts information, I would think they would have to have some Active Directory privileges to be able to see that information.
