Set the Load User Profile property and grant permissions (retired) - SmartPlant Foundation - SmartPlant Foundation 2020 - Help - Hexagon

The following applies if you are using a version of the software before Update 34. For the latest information, see Configure viewing of Hexagon PPM drawings or models.

Your SmartPlant Foundation File Service application pool identity user (by default, [sitename]FileService) must be a member of the SPFUsers group on the SmartPlant Foundation File Server.

The SmartPlant Foundation File Service application pool identity user must be a domain user account if you are not using your SmartPlant Foundation application server as your file server or if your border or reference files for drawing files are stored on a separate server. The user of the service account under which Remote Services runs must also be a domain user account. You can set both to the same domain user account.

To generate WebGL viewer files, you must:

• Set the Load User Profile property to True.

• Grant local launch and activation permissions for the SPFUsers group or the File Service application pool identity user account.
