Users do not have to be administrators on their machines to run P6 Professional. Instead, you can grant minimum permissions to create a more secure environment.
The following is a summary of the minimum system requirements needed to access and run components of P6 Professional R15.1:
Files within Folders:
dbexpsda40.dll
dbexpsda30.dll
dbexpint.dll
dbexpoda40.dll
dbexpoda30.dll
DbExpPrC.dll (only needed when using Compression Server)
dbexpsda.dll
dbxadapter30.dll (only needed when using Compression Server)
Read&Execute/Read permission to access files needed to run P6 Professional applications and to create and modify database alias connections.
Read&Execute/Read/Write permission to access the ini file, which is required to log into P6 Professional applications.
dbconfig.cmd
admin.cmd
Read&Execute/Read permissions to run the Database Configuration setup, the Primavera P6 Administrator, and API tools (Update Baseline and Schedule Comparison/Claim Digger).
Write permission may be required for the Database Configuration Setup utility (dbconfig.cmd) for the API tools if you need to create a new configuration and update the BREBootStrap.xml file with the new database configuration information.
For your reference, the following are the default installation locations for the PrmBootStrap.xml and BREbootstrap.xml files:
\%LOCALAPPDATA%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Optional Client \%LOCALAPPDATA%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional
During installation, the PrmBootStrapV2.xml and BREbootstrap.xml files are also copied to the location below. The files will never be modified while using P6 Professional, so they can be copied to the current user location (USERPROFILE or LOCALAPPDATA) if you need to revert P6 Professional back to its original state (for example, if files become corrupted).
\%PROGRAMDATA%\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional
Read&Execute/Read/Write to create and write output files.
Registry Keys:
READ
Note: For the Update Baseline and Schedule Comparison/Claim Digger tools, the key opens in Read/Write/Delete mode.
