if admin logs in and starts openLCA different databases are linked

Question

I have an issue with the import of a database into another, which leads to an internal error as I need the admin rights for writing on C: .

but when the admin logs in and opens openLCA, the program opens different  databases so that I cannot see 'my' database in that I want to import another.

I really appreciate every help and answer.

Comments

this is what I can see in the log-file as error
when I (not admin) try to import the database into the other.

Answer 1

If you have the databases in C and no write access to the database location, then you cannot use openLCA (with databases) at all really - I recommend then to install the zip version of openLCA (extract in your user directory), then you should have write access to the location of the databases (in your user account). You can even configure the location of the databases to a different folder (https://ask.openlca.org/20/how-to-change-the-folder-in-which-openlca-saves-databases?show=20#q20).

But maybe I am not fully getting your question?
