After you get the prompt to enter the administrator password you can just click on NO and after that you get the message from the browser installation wizard telling you Brave-Release (or the name of the browser you are installing) can be installed without administrator privileges. Continue? see attached screenshot. IF you just click on yes it lets you get the software installation completed. We want to avoid this.
Our workstations are running Windows 10 Pro and our AD is running over Server 2016.
If there is a way to control this... could it be with a GPO? 263591-brave-installation.png

    You would need to block users from being able to install software. You can read about how to do this by googling for the necessary policies. This article is one such approach but it might be a little different for your situation. Note that this prevents users from installing any software so play around with the policies to ensure you are getting what you want.
