1) Make sure that the user you are logged in with has Administrator rights.

2) Open Windows Explorer.

3) Navigate to the Irricad or FastQuote folder (normally C:\Program Files\AEI Software\... or C:\Program Files (x86)\Irricad)

5) Select the user or group that you want to be able to use Irricad, typically this will be "Users". Now make sure that the “Modify” and “Write” options are checked. In the example below all members of the “Users” group are given the correct permissions to the Irricad folder.
