Edit PowerWeb User Profiles

You can edit the settings in an individual PowerWeb user's profile. This action overrides the standard preferences previously applied for that user.

Note:
  • Only do this if a user needs a non-standard setting. Otherwise, use the standard deployment process.

  • Do this in the Web Server, not in the client machine.

  • You can follow these procedures if you do not have access to the server registry but you do have access to the file system.

To edit preferences of an individual PowerWeb user profile:

  1. Navigate to the following folder in the Web Server:

    C:\inetpub\AMM\Profiles.

    The name of each profile file looks like the following example:

    S-1-5-21-1753209238-1745623247-3704251221-1004.prf.

  2. To find the appropriate user profile file:

    1. In Windows Explorer, click the View tab and select Details.

    2. Click Add Column.

    3. Click Choose columns and select Owner.

      The users' names appear in this column.

      If the owner is a member of the local or domain administrators group, the group name will appear instead of their user account name.

  3. Open the user's profile file in a text editing program like Notepad.

  4. Edit the settings you want to change.

  5. Save the file.
