Security Settings

In environments with custom Windows security policies, users may need additional permissions to access CompuTec ProcessForce files stored in the ProgramData directory.

This guide explains how to verify and configure the required folder permissions.

When is this required?

You may need to configure these permissions if:

• Your organization uses custom security policies.
• User access to system folders is restricted.
• CompuTec ProcessForce users experience file access or permission-related errors.

note

These changes are typically not required on systems that use the default Windows security settings.

Configure folder permissions

To configure the required permissions:

1. Open File Explorer.

2. Navigate to: C:\ProgramData\.

   

   note

   If the folder is not visible, enable Show > Hidden items in File Explorer.

   

3. Right-click the CompuTec folder and select Properties.

   

4. Open the Security tab.

   

5. Click Edit....

   

6. For each SAP Business One user who will use CompuTec ProcessForce, grant the following permissions:

   • Read & execute
   • List folder contents
   • Read

   

   These permissions should apply to this folder, all subfolders and files.

7. Click OK to save the changes.

Required permissions

Folder Path	Required For	Permissions Needed
C:\ProgramData\CompuTec	All Users	Read, List folder, Read & execute
Subfolders of CompuTec	Add-ons, Temp files, etc.	Inherited from parent folder

Why are these permissions required?

CompuTec ProcessForce stores configuration files, temporary files, and runtime data in the ProgramData directory.

Without the required permissions, users may experience:

• Errors when opening CompuTec ProcessForce windows
• Problems loading configuration data
• Failures when creating temporary files
• Issues during updates or extensions installation

Ensuring that users have the required access helps CompuTec ProcessForce operate correctly in restricted environments.
