Directory structure of the Infront Portfolio Manager
During the installation of the Infront Portfolio Manager, the two directories <program directory> and <local directory> are created. The <program directory> is the target directory of the Infront Portfolio Manager installation and essentially contains the application. The <Local directory> is used to store data and configuration files that are only relevant for users of this client.
Read authorization for all Windows users of this client is sufficient for the <program directory>. For the administrator who installs the Infront Portfolio Manager or carries out updates, write rights are also required.
Read and write permissions are required for the <Local directory> for all Windows users of this client. It is installed below CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA (usually <C:\ProgramData\> under Windows 10).
In the custom installation of the Infront Portfolio Manager, you can specify not only the <program directory>, but also the <local directory> individually. Please note that the directories must not be identical, otherwise there will be overlaps in the "sys" directory. We therefore recommend leaving the default setting for the <Local directory>. The same applies to the <shared directory>, although there are no direct collisions due to identical files.

To work with the Infront Portfolio Manager without restrictions, Windows users need write access to this <local directory> and all its subdirectories.
System administrators can configure the paths (<local directory> and <shared directory>) for different environments via a corresponding environment variable in the system properties. You can use this configuration option to manage your test and production environments, for example.
