Which files need permission?

Hi,

I am using sketchup 2026 on a server and i don’t have admin rights. When i use sketchup and right click on a model sketchup freezes. It is a permission issue. They will give me the permissions needed, but they don’t know which files solves the issue.

Thanks.

This is not really clear. Are you using SketchUp in Virtual Environments? (This is not really supported by SU team, and perhaps needs special agreement…)
Or are there only files that you create in SketchUp on the server?

Normally SketchUp is installed on your own machine in your own user name/environment. However, during installation you have to provide admin credentials (right click on installer and “Run as administrator”).
If you are not an admin -as you mentioned - your IT staff should help you do to it.
If it’s installed like this, I don’t think you need special file permissions.

:thinking: But I was actually just thinking out loud because I don’t understand your situation… :blush:

Finally:

How did you come to this “final” conclusion? I don’t think it’s definitely a permission problem causing the freeze…

I work for a municipality, i use one of their computer that connects to a server. I can’t install or uninstall programs. After your answer, i tried to right click to show you how it freezes, and it works. :slight_smile: No problem now. It wasn’t working for two days.. I saw that problem before and after permissions needed problem was solved, that is why i thought it is a permission problem.
