Configure Opera to run actions

To run asset and user actions from Lansweeper, Opera needs to be configured correctly.

Opera is a Chromium-based web browser. Lansweeper has a Chromium extension that can be installed in browsers like Opera to allow for the execution of asset and user actions. However, you'll first need to configure Opera to allow for the installation of Chromium extensions.

The commands of asset and user actions are Windows-based, so you must be using Opera on a Windows computer to run actions.

1. Download and run the Lansweeper Chromium Extension installer and select Next. The executable adds a Lansweeper folder with the Chromium extension components to your computer.
2. Restart Opera and browse to the Lansweeper extension in the Chrome Web Store.
3. Select Add to Opera to install the Lansweeper extension.
4. Select Add extension in the confirmation pop-up.
5. Verify the extension is enabled. Enter "about:extensions" in Opera's address bar, press Enter, and enable the extension if it's not already enabled.

Grant the extension permission to run actions

After installation, you must manually give the extension permission to execute actions on your machine.

1. Pin the Lansweeper Chromium Extension icon to the browser toolbar.
