I want the account to be able to use one app that requires administrative privileges. I have contacted the support team of the app to find out why it needs these privileges, but I didn’t receive any helpful information.
The app is for viewing surveillance footage, but it requires admin privileges to open. I don’t want to make every employee an administrator just for this one use case. It might be better to switch to a FOSS app that doesn’t require administrative privileges by default.
The cameras we currently use are made by the vendor of the app, so maybe we’re locked in somehow? The NVR is also made by them, so it might be possible, but I don’t know for sure. I need to look into it more.
I did use procmon and saw that it was creating/closing a file in the C: directory. I gave access to the other folders it was trying to access (e.g. C:\Users\Public\CameraSoftware) but it’s still asking for admin privelleges. I tried doing the Task Scheduler method as well, did not work for me unfortunaely. Thanks for your response btw!
Did you check for registry keys too?
Procmon is the shit.
