Configuration Steps

  3. After completing the above steps, wait for the program to load, and then you can log in to the default-created workspace with the user created in step 1.

Note:

After each installation, a new empty workspace will be created by default. To return to the original workspace, you need to log in to the new workspace first and then manually open the original workspace from the workspace list.

Service Security

The installer automatically configures the VC Hub Windows service to run under the dedicated virtual service account NT SERVICE\WAGO_Visualization_And_Control_Hub. It also grants the service only the application and data directory permissions required at runtime.

Do not create a regular local user for the service, change the service to run as LocalSystem, or grant it administrator privileges.

For details and verification steps, see VC Hub Service Account and File Permissions.
