Automation for Actinic: Can't auto login if using an user who isn't Administrator

Do to a bug in Actinic V8 you can only auto login using a user named Administrator. This can be a problem if you want to work on your website on 1 PC and run Automation for Actinic on another for processing orders. To get around this issue you should do the following:

1 Create a new user who has Administrative rights, for example called Developer
2 Logout of Actinic and Log back in as the new user (in this case Developer).
3 Delete the Administrator user
4 Re-create a user called Administrator who has Order Processor rights (not Administrator rights).

Now you can use the Administrator account for Order Processing (to use in Automation for Actinic) and use the Developer account to make website changes (and perform Administrative operations).
