How to allow only administrators to enable connection groups
Applies to:
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
You can configure the App-V client so that only administrators, not users, can enable or disable connection groups. In earlier versions of App-V, there was no way to restrict access to disabling connection groups to users.
Note
This feature is supported starting in App-V 5.0 SP3.
Use one of the following methods to allow only administrators to enable or disable connection groups.
| Method | Steps |
|---|---|
| Group Policy setting | Enable the “Require publish as administrator” Group Policy setting, which is located in the following Group Policy Object node: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > App-V > Publishing |
| Windows PowerShell cmdlet | Run the Set-AppvClientConfiguration cmdlet with the -RequirePublishAsAdmin parameter. Parameter values: - 0 – False - 1 – True Example: Set-AppvClientConfiguration -RequirePublishAsAdmin 1 |
