Another minor bug fix is that if a user is a Non-Admin user, they cannot install updates for the application. However when a user launches the application and an update is available, it prompts to install using the admin login, which I enter, but the program quits and the update does not apply. I then relaunch the program, and the same prompt to update occurs. Ideally, a sensible way to implement this would be to simply have the program detect if the program is running with non-admin privileges, and if so, disable the auto-update mechanism on the basis that non-admins should not be able to update applications anyhow.


Is it about Kerio Connect Client application for Mac? It does not require admin privileges to be installed. Every user can install/update it (depending on the directory he installed it to).


Pavel,

If David has his system setup similar to mine, the non-admin accounts can't install anything, either by using the Apple Installer or dragging, not even system updates.

It is to provide a better, more consistent experience and to keep our support load at a reasonable level.

For our configuration, yes, they can, if they try, install to a "user" Applications folder, but we prefer that they not do even that.

So, yes, Connect Desktop Client (CDC) would be installed in the computer's Application folder and would require admin-level privileges to be updated.

Cheers,
Jon
