What's the permissions to install application in the software center

Question

In my lab environment, I log in the client with a normal domain user. When I click the Install button for the application, the error appears:

Insufficient permissions for software installation.

Your IT department has set restrictions for this software that prevent it from installing on your computer.

What's the permissions to install application in the software center?

Answer 1

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

1, You do not need to grant users admin permissions to install any software with Configuration Manager. You control the install permissions on the Client Settings in the Configuration Manager console. We can try to set the Install permissions to All Users that allows users with any permission except Guest to install software.

Look for the "Install permissions" section in this official article.

2.Here is another workaround for your reference:

Please set the Installation behavior to Install for system on the deployment type on the User Experience tab. The client will install the application only once with the local system account's permissions and the application is available to all users.

For more information, please refer to: Create applications in Configuration Manager

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
