2. Product description

2 Product description

2.1 Overview

Function The KRC Upgrade No-Admin software is an add-on functionality.

KRC Upgrade No-Admin restricts the access rights of the Windows user group“Users” with regard to Windows system files and certain resources of theKUKA System Software. This protects the system from being changed by thisuser group.

Due to the access restrictions, KRC Upgrade No-Admin gives improved pro-tection against malicious software (viruses, spyware, etc.). The basic protec-tion must still be ensured by other programs, however (e.g. Ikarus virusscanner).

The KUKA System Software (KSS), technology packages and all additionalKUKA functions retain their full functionality.

Windows users During automatic logon, the user is logged on as ‘KUKAUser’. ‘KUKAUser’ has

only user privileges.

KRC Upgrade No-Admin creates the new Windows administrator ‘KUKASys-tem’, which has all access rights to the entire system.

‘KUKASystem’ is a local user that, by default, does not have any rights on thenetwork. If ‘KUKASystem’ requires rights on the network, these can be as-signed. In case of questions, please contact the KUKA Roboter GmbH.(>>> 6 "KUKA Service" page 15)

Further

protection

KRC Upgrade No-Admin is designed to be used together with the technologypackage KUKA.CPC.

KRC Upgrade No-Admin: Protects the Windows system against unwantedaccess

KUKA.CPC: Protects the Windows system against uncertified software

2.2 Access rights

Overview KUKA System Software:

The KSS can only be started by the Windows user group “Users” via the fileStartKRC.kec. The KSS always runs with administrator privileges.

(>>> 5.1 "Starting the KSS" page 13)

User name Default password User group

KUKASystem kuka Administrators

KUKAUser kuka Users

Warning!

It is strongly recommended that the password for the user ‘KUKASystem’should be changed. If the password is not changed, unauthorized personscould gain access to the entire system with the aid of this documentation.If the password is changed, the files StartKRC.kec and StartUtil.kec must beadapted. In case of questions, please contact the KUKA Roboter GmbH.(>>> 6 "KUKA Service" page 15)

The Windows user groups have nothing to do with the user groups in theKSS. Both Windows user groups have access to all user groups in the KSS(subject to entry of the correct password).

KUKA Utilities:

The KUKA Utilities in C:\KRC\UTIL can be executed by the Windows usergroup “Users” via the file StartUtil.kec. The KUKA Utilities always run with ad-ministrator privileges.

(>>> 5.2 "Executing KUKA Utilities" page 13)

It is strongly recommended that the password for the user ‘KUKASystem’should be changed. If the password is not changed, unauthorized personscould gain access to the entire system with the aid of this documentation.

If the password is changed, the files StartKRC.kec and StartUtil.kec must

be adapted. In case of questions, please contact the KUKA Roboter Gm-bH. (>>> 6 "KUKA Service" page 15)

KRC Upgrade No-Admin alone does not provide adequate protectionagainst malicious software.

Due to the access restrictions, KRC Upgrade No-Admin gives improvedprotection against malicious software (viruses, spyware, etc.). The basicprotection must still be ensured by other programs, however (e.g. Ikarusvirus scanner).
