Diasble admin prompt?

[dakonga]

Hello,

is it possible to disable windows admin request?
because we useing choco background service, admin rights are not neccessary for choco upgrade and user does not have admin rights.

[Khaos66]

Hi!
No that is not possible at this point.

I'm also not familiar with the background service of Chocolatey.
Could you please provide me with the output of this command: choco feature list
Maybe the update notifier can detect the background service and skip the admin prompt in that case ;)
Your help is highly appreciated

Available in 0.10.14+.
[ ] scriptsCheckLastExitCode - Scripts Check $LastExitCode (external commands) - Leave this off unless you absolutely need it while you fix your package scripts to use throw 'error message' or Set-PowerShellExitCode # instead of exit #.

Business editions only (version 1.12.11+).
[ ] useBackgroundServiceInteractively - Use Background Service Interactively (BROKEN CURRENTLY - DO NOT USE) - When using Self-Service and installing software that cannot be completely silent, installs will need to be executed against the current desktop environment.
