Provide Deployment Access to Additional Users

When you configure a deployment server, the Configurator creates a set of Windows™ users groups that control access to the deployment server's functionality. These groups include:

[local]\Asb.Deployment.AdminRole - users can add and remove computers and groups
[local]\Asb.Deployment.UploadRole - users can add and remove project versions
[local]\Asb.Deployment.DeployRole - users can distribute projects to runtime computers
[local]\Asb.Deployment.ReadRole - users can browse project versions and computers.

When the deployment server configuration is applied, the user that is logged in to the computer is automatically added to each of these groups. This is appropriate while you are registering each deployment client, however it may not be appropriate for ongoing operation of the deployment server in Citect Studio.

For example, you may have a number of engineers that need to add project versions to the deployment server. To enable this, each engineer's Windows user account needs to be added to the "Asb.Deployment.UploadRole" user group locally on the deployment server.

Refer to the documentation provided by Microsoft^® to determine how to add user accounts to a group.
