This article describes the technical requirements for the myGP desktop app.
Windows administrator rights
Windows Administrator rights are not explicitly required to install the myGP toolbar client. A regular user should be able to install on their own.
If all installation of applications are blocked for non-administrator users, local IT Support team will be required to provide assistance during installation or will need to whitelist the myGP toolbar application
Installation and folder read/write access
myGP Buddy uses the OneClick install solution from Microsoft. If you require an enterprise level installation solution, please contact myGP Support to discuss this.
Read/write access is required to these folders:
C:\Users\Username\
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\
Where access to the above folders are blocked, myGP toolbar may be able to install, but would not be permitted to function.
Anti-virus
myGP Buddy could get blocked by anti-virus software. We advise that myGPย is whitelisted on any CCG/CSU managed anti-virus solutions.
We work with the major anti-virus suppliers to verify the myGP toolbar application, which should reduce anti-virus software from blocking or generating errors when myGP Buddy is run.
Firewall requirements
Port 443 (HTTPS) is open
No restrictions to the address:
https://buddyapi.iplato.net/
Whitelist access to the following IP addresses:
- 212.237.215.25
