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 list summarizes the minimum system requirements needed to access and run components of P6 Professional 16 R2:
To run P6 Professional, users require Read & Execute permissions for the following files:
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)
To log into P6 Professional applications, users require Read&Execute/Read/Write permissions to access the ini file.
To run the Database Configuration setup and the Primavera P6 Administrator users require Read&Execute/Read permissions for the following files:
dbconfig.cmd
admin.cmd
Note: 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 PrmBootStrapV2.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.
READ
Note: For the Update Baseline tool, the key opens in Read/Write/Delete mode.
