Symptoms

Our recommendation from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client Installation Guide is that:
"When installing, uninstalling/deinstalling, or running any JD Edwards EnterpriseOne product on Microsoft Windows operating systems [...] the user account into which you are signing into Microsoft Windows is in the Administrators group or a similar group..."

For regular usage, this is too broad. It is not good practice to run with Admin privileges from security perspective. An Admin user should be used as rarely as possible. JDE should not force users to run with Admin privileges unless absolutely necessary. So running normal processes on a Web Development client should not require an Admin user. It would be better to specify what exact permissions are needed and/or to make possible to run the development client without admin permissions.
