User Credentials for Configuring the System Management Server

In some circumstances, when configuring the System Management Server, you may be prompted to enter your user credentials. This may happen if the logged in user does not belong to the aaAdministrators or Administrators OS group. If you are a member of either of these groups, enter your user name as DomainName\UserName.

If you are not a member of aaAdministrators or Administrators on the local machine, you can obtain configuration privileges by editing the file appsettings.json, and adding the name of the OS group to the file. The full path for this file is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA\Platform Common Services\Management Server\appsettings.json.

To add configuration privileges for the System Management Server to an OS group, add the name of the OS group to the json file, after "aaAdministrators."

"aaAdministrators",
