Plant SCADA studio 2023 application can't be started because of permission issue

Madhu 11 months ago

Hello,

I recently installed the Plant SCADA 2023 as a development workstation on Remote desktop server to test my restored project. After completing the configuration, the plant studio application cannot be started because of some permission issues as shown in the picture. But if I run the application as an administrator, then everything is fine.

I am just wondering what's the best practice to run the application after installation and will it lead to any problems later if I continue this way? (because I want to replicate the same when my project needs to be deployed in the client deployment server with upgraded application once it is tested)

Ensure that the user account that you used to connect to Remote Desktop Server is included in the "SCADA.RuntimeUsers" Windows group on the target machine. See the section below copied from Plant SCADA Help.
