Users do not have to be administrators on their machines to run P6 Professional. Instead, you can grant minimum permissions to create a more secure environment.
The following is a summary of the minimum system requirements needed to access and run components of P6 Professional:
Files
The following files in <local drive>\Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional require Read&Execute/Read permission to run P6 Professional applications and to create and modify database alias connections:
- dbconfig.cmd
- dbexpsda30.dll
- dbexpsda40.dll
- dbexpoda40.dll
- dbexpoda30.dll
- dbexpoda40.dll
- dbexpsda.dll
The following file in <local drive>\Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional\P6Tools requires Read&Execute/Read permission to log in to P6 Professional applications:
- PrimaveraAdminConfig.exe
The default location for pm.ini and PrmBootStrapV2.xml is \%LOCALAPPDATA%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional.
During installation, this file is also copied to \%PROGRAMDATA%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional. This file is not modified during use of P6 Professional, so you can copy it to the current user location (USERPROFILE or LOCALAPPDATA) if you need to revert P6 Professional back to its original state (for example, if files become corrupted).
The Output directory for File, Export, Log output files requires Read&Execute/Read/Write to create and write output files.
