Right clicking the manager → Run as administrator (with IT’s superpowers) → Install connector works, but not quite. When I open RH/GH Speckle is not there (I bet is installing under the “…/Users/Admin/…” which is not me)
What do you guys recommend for installing Speckle under these conditions?
This is a quite unfortunate one, we’ve been struggling with corporate environments for a while now. It’s usually a mixture of aggressive IT policies that makes it hard for us to guarantee a smooth installation process!
The best option would be to have a quick chat with your IT department and finding a solution together, most of the time it boils down to allowing some domains and/or trusting our certificate.
Before we do so, I’d like to investigate your issue a bit more. I’ve just released v2.1.8 of Manger, it now includes some logging that’ll help us understand what errors are being thrown.
Would you mind installing it and sharing your SUUID (in settings) with us?
I check the log and unfortunately, I can’t really see why the installation fails. My guess is either a group policy or antivirus. Would it be possible to get in touch with your IT department to figure out a solution together?
Corss-posting here as well, for anyone jumping on this thread, we have since a while made individual installers for our connects available and as well enabled system wide installation options:
Thank you @vwb vwb for bringing up this topic.
We are currently facing the same challenge. Our department would like to work with Speckle in a larger company.
Specifically, these are the connectors for Power BI and Revit to enrich dashboards with Speckle models from Revit.
The company works with Enterprise Access Management to manage the clients. This means that there are group policies that are applied every time a user logs on. New software must therefore be entered into these policies. Our IT can install the connectors for all users (thanks to the installation files provided), but we need further information to adapt the group policy.
For each Microsoft product, a so-called resiliency key
and an addin key for the loading behavior of the plugin is required. This is required to customize the group policy.
In the case of Power BI, external connectors were also approved by the user (Connectorerweiterbarkeit in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn)
How this works with the plugin for Revit is still unclear to me at the moment, this would have to be clarified in a further step.
Are there any other efforts, solutions or cases where the installation of plugins or connectors has worked in a corporate environment?
reply. I tried and got this.
for it.
