3. Save the file.
In the initial configuration, Report Expert grants administrative
privileges only to those users that are identified as Report Expert
Administrators and are members of the default local group named
Administrators. Since the group is not created automatically during
the installation of Report Expert, you need to create it manually, or
point to a local group that already exists in your system and
configure it appropriately. If you create a local group, you can either
use the default name of the group - Administrators - or choose
another.
In the steps below we assume that you create a new local group that
will contain all Report Expert administrators.
To create and configure a local group for Report Expert
Administrators:
1. Go to Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer
Management.
2. Create a new local group that will contain all of your Report
Expert administrators.
The default name for the group in the Report Expert
configuration is host\Administrators. You can use this name
or choose another.
3. Add the Windows domain user name of each administrator to
the newly created group.
If you intend to use a local group that already exists in the system, or
you have created a new group and chosen for it a different name
than the default one, you need to update the Report Expert
configuration file.
