About the Hummingbird Product User Group
The Hummingbird Product User Group controls the access permissions for the Hummingbird product(s) installed on the Terminal Server. Without a Hummingbird Product User Group, a Hummingbird product installed on the Terminal Server automatically installs into all user profiles the next time each user logs on. If you create a Hummingbird Product User Group, the Hummingbird product installed on the Terminal Server will automatically install (upon logon) only into profiles of users who are added to the Hummingbird Product User Group.
The Hummingbird Product User Group can be a local or Domain group. If it is a Domain group, a Domain controller must be available at the time the user logs onto the Terminal Server.
The default name for each Hummingbird Product User Group is as follows:
Product |
Hummingbird Product User Group Default Name |
---|---|
Exceed |
Exceed10_Users |
Exceed PowerSuite |
Exceed10_Users |
Exceed XDK |
Exceed10_Users |
Exceed 3D |
Exceed10_Users |
HostExplorer |
HostExplorer10_Users |
A Hummingbird Product User Group is optional. All Hummingbird User Manager features are available whether or not you create a Hummingbird Product User Group. However, if a Hummingbird Product User Group exists, you must add a user to the appropriate group before they receive permission to use that Hummingbird product. For example, if you create a Hummingbird Product User Group for Exceed, you must add a user to that Exceed User Group for the per-user installation to run for that user.
The following tables outline the differences between a Hummingbird Product User Group and a User Manager user group.
