Periodic access error

Hi, Support It looks like I have a Periodic access error for my user trying to run a flow.

Sometimes it is working and sometimes it doesn't.?

 

See the attached file for more info.

    Hi @kriho 

    have you tried opening PAD itself with elevated rights?

    Hi Thomas it is working. But how can you set a flow running as an administrator?

     

    See attached file

    Sorry Kriho, I tried doing it the way you show in the pdf file, but my license doesn't allow me to run flows this way.

     

    I would try the following steps (but I'm not sure it would work)

    1. Make a new desktop flow, containing a message prompt so it pauses during runtime.
    2. Attach your flow on the cloud to the flow created in the previous step.
    3. Run the flow from the cloud
    4. Inspect in the task manager which process is being launched via the cloud flow
    5. Find that exe-files source
    6. Exit the desktop flow
    7. Right click on the exe-file -> Press the compability tab -> Select "Run this program as an administrator" -> Press OK
    8. Restart the flow from the cloud again
    9. Open the Task Manager again -> Go to the Information Tab -> Right click where it says "Name" and choose "Select columns" and look for "elevated rights" or something along those lines
    10. Verify that the exe-file is in the list and see if it in fact is running in an elevated mode.
    11. Try to run the original cloud flow from here, and hopefully it will work.
      If not, there may be more than one exe-file that is running that needs to be elevated as well

     

    Good luck!
