Problem Statement
In order to run the GDOT applications in the GDOT Console it is necessary for the User of the machine to be part of the GDOT predefined groups that are configured once you install the Aspen Dynamic Optimization (ADO) suite products. These predefined groups are: GDOTUsers, GDOTOperators, and GDOTEngineers.
 
Solution
Firstly, you need to make sure you are using an Account with Administrator privileges before starting this procedure.

Go to Computer Management and click on Local Users and Groups.

Click on Groups and make sure that the three GDOT predefined (GDOTUsers, GDOTOperators, and GDOTEngineers) exist in the machine. Otherwise, the installation of the ADO suite has not been performed correctly and must be repaired or re-installed.

If all GDOT predefined groups can be found, then go to Users and locate the User ID you want to add to the GDOT predefined groups. For this example, the selected user is Student.

Double-click on the selected user, the <User> Properties window will show up. Then you will need to click on Member Of tab and then click on Add.

The Select Groups window will show up and you can add the desired GDOT predefined groups manually or click on Advanced.

A menu will be displayed, click on Find Now and locate the GDOT predefined groups and click on OK.

Once the GDOT groups are added to the Select Groups window, click on OK.

If you are able to see the new groups have been added to the Member Of tab, click on Apply and then click on OK.
