Power User Profile

Okay every one. Has any one ever seen this. I am logged in as Administrator and I am installing all the programs that we use at work. After installing Word Perferct suite8 and I log in as that user it will not run. If I log in as the Administrator it runs fine. Why does it do that? I have tried adding the power users group to the program as well as the individual user id and it still does not work. Any help please!!!!!!!!!!! Also; I am trying to restrict the user from using certain programs.

Example: User A can not run solitare, hearts, pinball, etc...

User B can run those applications

How in the world do I add or modify who has the right to run what program. Help please....................

 

Domain? Workgroup? Stand Alone?

NTFS or FAT32?

 

Workgroup and it is NTFS.

Both computers are using Microsoft File and print sharing.

 

Two situations I can see; users workiing directly on the PC and users using a network share.

1. For users working directly on the workstation:
a. set up groups with permissions that meet your needs such as admin with unlimited rights, puser which has rights to run programs, delete/modify files, user which has read rights.
b. put users into the group that fits what they should be able to do.
c. set permissions on the folders (right-click on folder, select properties, select security) and just add in the groups you want to have access. Remove the "everyone" group unless you want a completely open folder.

Note: the administrators group should already be in security for everything on the system but if not, you can just add them at the root level of the drive.

2. For network shares, do as above but thru the sharing~permissions section.
