Action Button Behaviour

[jim wood]

Guys,

I was always under the impression that processes executed by none admin users still execute with admin privileges. We have a process that locks users out apart from the admin groups and the group running the process run. This is executed at the start of an excel sheet via an action button. Other processes are then executed by the user via the same method. We have found that when an admin user runs the lock action button the security is locked as expected. When a none admin user runs the action button the process fails. Has anybody else come across this?

Jim.

Jim,

Is this due to needing to right click on the process in the server explorer window and select security access?

I bloody hope not. I set the operating group with read access to all processes originally and my colleague took over from there. If he hasn't set it I can already feel my boot swinging.

Sorry, think we may be on different topics here.

Rather than the user having access to actually run the process, any TI which changes security needs to have a setting enabled as per:

Which when googling I was surprised showed up in the version 9.4 documentation as I had thought it came in with a later version.

He was in 2 groups. One was setup with read access and the other with none. He can see them in server explorer so I'm guessing that isn't the issue. at least I can rest easy on that one I guess.

Many thanks Declan. A good find indeed. We'll retest and let you know how it goes.
