SEAL without root access

[JyKKe]

Hi

Is it possible to use SEAL without root access?

SEAL requires read access; ~/SWVersion

Hello JyKKe

To help you better, could you please clarify which SEAL utility you're referring to? Also, I noticed your question mentions root access, while the referenced text mentions read access to ~/SWVersion. Could you confirm which type of access you're referring to in this case?

Perhaps you're using the Script utility and are logged in with an EBO account that doesn’t have read access to that path?

When I log in to ES with the SEAL program and if the user does not have root privileges on the entire system, the following error

So you need to have permission to read the version number from ES (~/SWVersion)

But is there any way to log in to SEAL ES without having root privileges on the entire system?

Thanks for the clarification, 

SEAL needs to identify the software version you're logged into, so it requires read access to the root object that specifies the SWVersion. This ensures it can correctly determine the environment you're connected to.

Therefore, no—you will not be able to connect to a server without read access to the root object that provides the SWVersion.

It won't help even if you give it such rights.

I think the issue might be that the SWVersion is the property of eValvomo. Maybe you need to define the rights to the property.

But there is this small issue that the SWVersion is not available in the property selection menu
