An agent installed as User Mode allows a user to interact
with applications launched by a project.
User mode is an option offered for Windows agents only. The option
is set during installation. It cannot be configured after installation.
User mode has the following applications:
- Collect input manually through a GUI application as the job runs.
This makes the job dependent on human input.
- Troubleshoot projects and steps. Output that is hidden during
service mode operation is visible in user mode. Each step produces
a console window while the step is running.
Important: Windows 7 systems. If you install or reinstall
a user-mode agent on a Windows 7 system, you must reboot the operating
system. The agent does not work unless the operating system is rebooted.
Keep in mind the following differences when setting up projects
to use a computer in user mode:
