Tips
- ●
- Do not give any inherit permission to the shared project folder or to the parent folder of the project folder (the GMSProjects folder). This may lead to failure in starting the web client since it is difficult to predict how Windows OS will behave in different versions for inherited permission of the shared folders.
- ●
- Ensure that the rights are configured and restricted in the folders, and not on the file share. A Windows user who has Write permissions to a project when logged on to the server (for example, a member of the local Administrators group) also has Write permissions to this folder when accessing it using a file share.
