Windows Users and Groups
Causes
The permissions requirements to render PME can vary between systems due to security policies. Different authentication requirements are necessary in this case.
Resolution
The windows group "authenticated users" contains user accounts that are successfully authenticated on the local and domain levels. The group needs to be added to the permissions of the PME root installation folder.
- Navigate to the PME root installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\Power Monitoring Expert
- Right click on the folder to open "Properties" window. Select the "Security" tab
- Under "group or user names" press "Edit"
- Click "Add" and type "Authenticated users" into the box. Click "check names" to verify the name.
- Once the name is added, make sure "Read" permissions are allowed and click "Apply." The window can be closed.
- Navigate back to the PME web application login and restart the page. (May need to restart Windows ION Application Modules Core Services Host https://digital-energy-help.se.com/pme/content/8_reference/planning/ref_pmewindowsservices.htm)
