Modify User Privileges for Starting a Collector
About this task
The following example shows how to change the user permissions for a collector (the iFIX collector). While these steps outline the procedure for changing the user permissions for the iFIX collector, note that you must perform these steps individually for each collector that you want to allow the user to start.
To change the permissions in the Windows Registry, you must be an Administrator. After you change the permissions, you can exit the Registry Editor, allow the user to log in again, and then allow that user to restart the collector.
