Create a OS User

You can create a user to perform administration functions.

  1. On Linux, create a user WITHOUT root privileges to install and run the service, for example x3ds.

    This user will be used:

    • to perform the installation of the 3DSpace service
    • for post install and admin tasks
    • to run the 3DSpace services.
    • for 3DSpace uninstallation

    and will run all service processes and own installed files. This user must have read access to the /var/DassaultSystemes folder.

  2. On Windows, create a user WITH administrator privileges to install and run the service.

    This user will be used:

    • to perform the installation of the 3DSpace service
    • for post install and admin tasks
    • to run the 3DSpace services.
    • for 3DSpace uninstallation

    Administrator rights will be required at installation time for several tasks such as updating the registry, registering services, etc.
