Cannot modify the desktop ID or URL from IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office

When you log in to IBM® Content Navigator for Microsoft Office, you cannot modify the desktop ID or IBM Content Navigator URL that are displayed in the Login window when you click More Options

Symptoms

If you change the desktop ID or IBM Content Navigator URL, you receive the following error:
The configuration information cannot be saved because you do not have the 
appropriate permissions or the configuration.ini file is marked as read only.  
Ask your administrator to give you the appropriate permissions.

Causes

This problem occurs when IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office is installed for all users of the system and the current user is not logged in as an administrator. Only the workstation administrator has the rights to update the desktop ID and IBM Content Navigator URL, because only the workstation administrator has write access to the configuration.ini file.

Environment

This occurs on a workstation where IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office is installed for all users of the system.

Resolving the problem

To edit the desktop ID and IBM Content Navigator URL, you must log in as the workstation administrator.
