Manage Users

If you want to run AIS APIs or allow AIS APIs to be executed by a non-admin user, these steps must be followed:

Definitions:

• User A - Non-admin service user (aisserver.test2@aveva.com)

• User B - Admin User

During installation:

1. Add User A to PCS Users group via PCS User Group screen to enable necessary permissions.

2. Restart the machine to apply group policy changes and ensure proper user group membership is applied.

During Configuration

3. Configure all AIS application pools to run under User A service account and AIS services are started.

4. Launch all products using Run as different user with User A credentials and ensure the authentication token is generated.

5. Verify that User A has read/write access to projects location and datasources are added in Remote Admin.

6. For Unified Engineering integration, add User A to Remote Users group and log into the machine with User A credentials.

7. Install Unified Engineering under User A context and generate token from Credential Manager after launching the application.

8. Switch back to User B login and remove User A from Remote Users group.

9. Add Unified Engineering datasource in Remote Admin and verify data retrieval via Data API Client for all added datasources.

10. Verify data for the added datasources in Data API Client.

11. Confirm that read access has been granted to User A, except for the Logs, CustomTempPath, and Logs folders. These three folders will have write access.
