Windows with multiple users

[flat]

Chaos Cloud submit (Maya,3dsMax) cannot be used when multiple users (non-admin) are logged into Windows.
Do I need to install the Chaos Cloud client app for each user?


Is there a way to install a common Chaos Cloud client app for all users?

Hi flat,

Yes, you have to install the Chaos Cloud client app for each user individually. This is because the users need to have admin permissions to install it for all users. This makes especially the updates hard to install - not everyone has such kind of permissions.

But there's a workaround. You can add this file for each Windows user: %appdata%\Chaos Group\vcloud\client\vcloud.json

And its content should be the path to the client app:

{
"executable": "C:\\Users\\CloudWindows\\AppData\\Roaming\\Ch aos Group\\Cloud\\Client\\ccloud.exe",
"webProxy": "",
"webProxyUser": "",
"webProxyPass": ""
}

Also the users should have permissions to read the folder which holds the ccloud.exe app.

Hope this helps.

Bests,
Vladie

Thank you for letting me know the workaround.
