I ordered a data-logger for a work-related project, Which comes with windows software and need admin priviledge (that I don’t have due to corporate IT policies). So I lost 2h going to the IT department trying to get someone with admin right installing this driver :(
What’s the reason hardware come mostly with Windows driver (rather than Linux) and why do these software/driver need admin privilege for installation where their customer base are professional who often don’t have the right privilege on their PC ? Is there something technically forcing the privilege elevation to install a driver ?
there’s software to do this appropriately like ThreatLocker for example but in most cases Auto elevation is a horrible idea from a security standpoint
Autoelevate does handle this appropriately.
It automatically sends the prompt to a designated group of admin users for review. It 100% removes admin rights from end user machines.
It doesn’t automatically allow anything.

So many people in this thread responding to text without looking into anything – talk about bad security practices.
I think there are multiple things called autoelevate then.
Top Google result.
that means fucking nothing these days
