What could prevent a system admin from accessing a shared folder during Qlik Sense installation?

Access permissions are crucial for system administrators during the installation of Qlik Sense. If the admin's account does not have the necessary access permissions to the shared folder, it can effectively block access to critical resources needed for the installation process. Installation often involves accessing files and directories that might be located on shared drives, and lacking the appropriate permissions means that the administrator won't be able to read or execute files necessary for setting up the Qlik Sense environment.

In contrast, while factors like folder size or whether a folder is required for installation can impact installation procedures, they do not directly prevent access as lack of permissions does. Similarly, an outdated computer may pose performance issues but should not, by itself, restrict access to shared folders during installation. Thus, ensuring proper permissions is vital for smooth installation and operation.
