Setting User Access Rights

We recommend to grant full access rights to all users to the directories

<INSTALLDIR>/bin/log

<INSTALLDIR>/genicam/cache

  1. To allow anyone in the group video write access, call

sudo chown -R root:video <INSTALLDIR>/bin/log

sudo chmod -R g+w <INSTALLDIR>/bin/log

sudo chown -R root:video <INSTALLDIR>/genicam/cache

sudo chmod -R g+w <INSTALLDIR>/genicam/cache

Only when write access is enabled, the Silicon Software Runtime can place log files in these directories. Without sufficient access rights, some tools and features may not work properly (e.g., microDiagnostics).
