Comment on How do I make a domain account on Windows have administrative privelleges to use a particular app?

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.

Tier 1 probably doesn’t have a clue, you’ll have to escalate, or alternatively use procmon to see what files and folders it’s accessing that might need admin privileges. Like if it’s trying to write files to its own subfolder right off C:, basically it’s probably poorly coded.

Once you know what files/folders it’s trying to access, you can give everyone permissions to just those specific ones and then it should run without prompt

Alternatively alternatively, you can screw around with the task scheduler, off the top of my head you could probably have TS run the program as an admin user on login of any user
