I defined the Shared Folder Path, User Name, and Password, but I can’t reach my project, and ReScan operation fails.

Check if the folder structure or folder name has changed.

Check if your Windows username is under a corporate domain. Example: CORP\name.surname

Can I install different applications on the Reality Hub Server?

We strongly advise you not to install any application on the Reality Hub server; it might cause substantial problems.

To set an example, the application you installed might try to use one of the Ports dedicated to Reality Hub and disrupt your communication with your production pipeline. It is untested, uncertified, and inadvisable.

I can’t see my project in the Launcher.

In such cases, you need to scan the folder where you keep your Projects by using the Scan Folder tool.

Is it possible to grant single module access to a specific user or user group?

With the Advanced User Management module, you can restrict/grant access to different modules/features.

I upgraded the Reality Hub from 1.1.x to 1.3, and now I can’t reach any module except for User Management and Configuration modules.

With version 1.3, we introduced a new module for user management. The new User Management Module offers two different models: Advanced User Management and Basic User Management. We advise you to create an administrator account and leave the admin for only essential administrative purposes.

For more information, please visit User Management

I can’t access a specific module, like Nodegraph/Actions.

If your company uses Advanced User Management, contact your system admin if your Policy allows you to use a specific module.
Check if the License is reserved for other users. See License Reservation
If you meet the above requirements, refresh the page.
If it doesn’t help, restart the Reality Hub Service.

If the abovementioned steps don’t help, please get in touch with our Support Department.
