  • Article

Applies to:

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 11

You can configure the App-V client so that only administrators, not users, can enable or disable connection groups. In earlier versions of App-V, there was no way to restrict access to disabling connection groups to users.

Note

This feature is supported starting in App-V 5.0 SP3.

Use one of the following methods to allow only administrators to enable or disable connection groups.

Method Steps
Group Policy setting Enable the “Require publish as administrator” Group Policy setting, which is located in the following Group Policy Object node:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > App-V > Publishing
Windows PowerShell cmdlet Run the Set-AppvClientConfiguration cmdlet with the -RequirePublishAsAdmin parameter.

Parameter values:
- 0 – False
- 1 – True

Example: Set-AppvClientConfiguration -RequirePublishAsAdmin 1
