The new Catalog Center feature was designed to allow users without local admin rights to be able to install and maintain their catalogs without needing to enter admin credentials each and every update. This does require installing the catalogs to a folder that the local user has full control over and will require administrative credentials the first time to establish the catalog installation. Once installed to the new location the user will then be able to update and install additional catalogs without needing to enter admin credentials.
Remove existing catalogs (If present)
If catalogs are already installed locally to the default location of C:\ProgramData\CAP\Content or some other location the user does not have permission to, then the existing catalogs will need to be uninstalled.
Open the catalog center, select the Uninstall button, and then make sure everything is selected and proceed to uninstall all catalogs and materials.
Note: Admin rights will be required to do this full uninstall via the catalog center.
Once uninstalled, close and reopen Worksheet and verify the catalogs are removed and Worksheet should report No content.
Create a new folder for catalog installation
Have the user create a new local folder on their hard drive to hold the catalog installation. For example, you could create a folder called "OnDemand" on the C:\ or other local hard drive that might have more available space. By having the user create the folder, the user will naturally have full access to the folder.
Example:
C:\OnDemand
Reinstall the catalogs to the new folder
Open the catalog center to reinstall the catalogs.
To save time, it is advisable to install just a single catalog to start with, to establish the installation to the new location. A good catalog to install would be the DMO - 2020 Enriched Data Demo as that catalog is not that large and will be required anyways if the user uses Visual Impression.
Important: Be sure to change the installation directory to the custom folder before beginning the installation
It will prompt for admin credentials the first time installing to the new location. Enter the admin credentials for the user and allow the catalog to install.
Once the catalog has been installed, close and reopen Worksheet. Verify the catalog that was selected to be installed is now installed.
The user may now return to the catalog center to install the rest of the catalogs and materials they require.
The user will no longer be required to enter admin credentials at this point to install or update catalogs.
