Sophos requires admin rights to open Endpoint Protection

jackandrew1995

Hello,

Currently on a trial of Sophos Enterprise Console and Endpoint Protection, I have sucessfully deployed Sophos in a domain environment to some machines from the Enterprise Console and it has scanned and polcies have applied.

But when I attempt to click on the Sophos tray icon it wont open without me entering Admin credentials? Other places where I have seen Sophos inplace does not require this and a normal end user can open the application.

I have searched for this issue but cant see anyone else who is having this issue, can anyone help?

Thank you

Jack

    Hello Jack,

    when I [a normal end user] attempt...

    is this I a standard user or an administrator? SavMain's manifest specifies an execution level of highestAvailable (as opposed to requireAdministrator) so a standard user shouldn't get a prompt. The behaviour of the prompt (confirmation/consent or credentials) depends on the UAC settings (Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> Security Options).
