Installer Accounts

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

Microsoft Windows

You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition 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 - BPM Edition with administrator privileges, do not use the same account to create a workspace for the user. Instead, individual users should start TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition from the account with which they intend to use TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition, 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 - BPM Edition 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 - BPM Edition to avoid any potential permissions issues.
