Hi @Srinath_007 ,

Server-side automation of word is subject to various problems.

Here are some solutions which might be helpful.

1. First, make sure that both Launch and Activation and Access are customized to include the user accounts you want to allow.
2. If the previous step did not help, on the Identity tab, select Interactive User, Startup User, or This User. Enter an actual account that is known to have the above permissions. and enter/confirm the password.
3. If that doesn't work, add an administrator account for testing and, if feasible, further reduce its permissions to ensure that it has the minimum permissions it can run.

Best Regards.
