Dedicating a Windchill User Account for the Worker

In addition, this user account's Preferred File Server preference must be set to the file server from which the worker retrieves the files. Add this new user to the Site Administrators group. Perform the following steps to create the account:
1. Log in to Windchill as the site administrator.
2. Access > > and create a new user.
3. Access > and add the new user to the Site Administrators table.
4. Log in to Windchill using the new user's credentials.
5. From the Home location
, navigate to > > > to locate the
Preferred File Server preference. Change the Preferred File Server preference to the server from which this worker retrieves its data.
