Permissions Required to Download Client Components

To enable OpenText Application Quality Management to work with OpenText testing tools as well as various other integrations and third-party tools, you need to log in to the client machine with administrator privileges. These privileges are required to install the ALM Client Registration add-in, which you use to register client components and Site Administration client components on your client machine.

File System Permissions

You must have the following file system permissions:

  • Full read and write permissions on the HP\ALM-Client deployment folder. This is located at %ALLUSERSPROFILE%.

  • Full read and write permissions to the Temp (%TEMP% or %TMP%) directory. The installer program writes installation and log files to this directory. This is generally located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp.
