Understanding the client computer privileges

All Meridian users require the following minimum privileges on their own computers:

• Membership in the Administrators group to install the Meridian software. See the following Note.

• Internet Explorer security settings as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User's Guide.
• Internet Explorer security settings enabled for the Local Intranet zone to download, register, and activate DLLs and ActiveX components that might be required by PowerUser extensions. See the following Note.

• Read access to C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian
• Read access to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cyco Shared
• Read access to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared
• Read access to C:\Windows\System32
• Full access to the C:\BC-Workspace folder. They must also have full access to the subfolder that matches their user name.
• Modify access to the folder specified by the Windows TEMP system variable.

Note    Ideally, users should be a member of either the Administrators or Power Users group of their own computer, unless read/write access has been granted for a lower group for which the user is a member. If this is prohibited by your organization’s security policy, an alternate method for installing Meridian and deploying extensions must be used. Common alternatives include manual installation performed by a system administrator or using a centralized application deployment system such as Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS).
