How to allow non Admin local Users to change/Vlan ID on Windows 11?

Question

Hello,

I'm wondering how to allow non admin local users to set VlanID on the network adapter. Currently the user is part of the Network Configuration Operators but when I have have the user try go set it, the advanced tab that normally allows this setting to be set is gone.

Answer 1

Have the user try using PowerShell instead.

# Replace "Ethernet" with the name of your network adapter
$adapterName = "Ethernet"
$vlanId = 100  # Replace with your desired VLAN ID
# Set the VLAN ID for the specified network adapter
Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name $adapterName -DisplayName "VLAN ID" -DisplayValue $vlanId

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

When allowing non administrator local users to set VLAN IDs, you need to configure appropriate permissions. Here are some steps and precautions:

Using Group Policy Editor: In Windows systems, you can configure user permissions through Group Policy Manager. You can create a group policy that allows non administrator users to access advanced network adapter settings.

Grant users appropriate permissions: Ensure that you grant non administrator users appropriate permissions to modify network adapter settings. This can be achieved through group policy, user permission settings, or user group settings.

Check network adapter driver settings: Ensure that the driver of the network adapter supports non administrator users to modify VLAN IDs. Sometimes, driver settings may limit user permissions.

Use command line or script for configuration: You can write scripts or use command line tools to allow users to configure VLAN IDs.

Hope this answer can help you well.
