182 - Workplace - allow non-admin install

Sam Osheroff

To make the appcast updates work more smoothly, it would be great if there was an option to install workplace for windows in "user mode" (I.e. not require admin permissions).

Currently a number of my users are not administrators so I can't use the appcast to notify them of a new version.

I've heard this is available via command line switches, though I've not seen that documented. It would be better if the app recognized the user is not an admin and prompted to install "for myself or everyone", similar to other apps. If the user selects "everyone" than admin permissions are needed, otherwise the installer should install in user mode.

Sam Osheroff: Command line switches and group policy details are here. Domain admins can therefore push out updates that way, however i agree with your idea. Most companies issues one laptop per person and so having the option to install 'only for the current user' would allow the user to update when prompted by appcast/AADS.
