Installer Accounts

You require certain privileges to install TIBCO Business Studio on Windows and Linux/UNIX platforms.

Microsoft Windows

You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO Business Studio is installed. If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer exits. You must then log out of the system and log in as a user with the required privileges, or request your system administrator to assign the privileges to your account.

Note: After installing TIBCO Business Studio with administrator privileges, do not use the same account to create a workspace for the user. Instead, individual users should start TIBCO Business Studio from the account with which they intend to use TIBCO Business Studio, and create their own workspace to avoid potential issues with permissions.

If you intend to install the product on a network drive, you must ensure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.

Linux/UNIX

TIBCO Business Studio can be installed either as a root or a local user. TIBCO recommends that you install as the user you plan to use for TIBCO Business Studio to avoid any potential permissions issues.
