Topic: Setting Up Permissions for WYNN or TestTalker Users

Overview:

WYNN and TestTalker require users to have more permissions than those offered for Limited Users. There are only a few items that need to be set, but without them, WYNN and TestTalker will not work. Below are details for these permissions. Note that you can set up a 'WYNN Users' group on the server and administer the user rights that way.

1. In the Registry.

Give the user Full Control over HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

To do this on Windows XP, follow the instructions below:

1. From the Start menu, select Run…
2. Type regedit
3. Right-click on the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder, and select Permissions.
4. Click on the name of the user in the list, then put a checkmark in the Allow Full Control box, then click OK.

If the user name is not listed, then it's more complicated. After Step 3, if you don't see the user name you want:

1. Click the Advanced button. This should show you a full list of users.
2. Select the user you want, then click Add. You'll get another dialog asking you to specify the user name.
3. You can type in the name directly or select it by pressing this Advanced button, then doing a Find. It will find and list every single possible user, including ones that you never knew existed.
4. Select the name from that list, then click OK. Now that username will appear in your list back in the original dialog box. Now you can go on to Step 4.

On Windows 2000, it's a slightly different process because in Windows 2000 you can't set Permissions in Regedit. You have to use a separate program called Regedt32. (On Windows 2000, Regedit is used to modify keys, while Regedt32 is used to specify security permissions.) So on Windows 2000, the instructions are identical except you run Regedt32 instead of Regedit.

2. On the Hard Drive.

Give WYNN users full rights to the C:\WYNN3 folder (or whatever the folder is named).

They also need rights to ArkWynn.ini (or ArkWynnR.ini for WYNN Reader) in the Windows folder. This file holds WYNN's MRU list.

3. User Rights in Local Security Policies

Note: This is required for Windows XP workstations and for Windows 2000 workstations with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and above.

WYNN users must have rights to two items in the Local Security Policies. To do this, when logged in as Administrator on the workstation, from the Control Panel go to the following:

Administrative Tools » Local Security Policy » Local Policies » User Rights Assignments

You need to give WYNN users rights to the following policies:

1. Load and unload device drivers
2. Take ownership of files or other objects
