Granting User Access to Templates

Many companies no longer allow local users access to certain functionality, such access permissions on program installation folders. If the user has local administrator rights, then this is not an issue. However, if user rights are restricted within the network, access to the GoldMine templates are also restricted. Access to the GoldMine installation folder must be set by a Windows user that is designated as a local “Administration” to allow access to the templates.

Depending on your operating system, your steps may vary from the following instructions.
