Question
Wednesday, February 26, 2020 5:35 PM
Is there a good way to setup via Group Policy the ability for accounts with local administrator rights only to open certain executables (not all) without a UAC prompt? THings like mmc.exe / regedit.exe / etc.
This is more of a convenience thing as there are a group of executables we would like to avoid UAC Prompts on constatntly but only for administrator rights accounts.
Also,
What is the best way to give elevated privileges to a certain folder or file in Windows and alow only certain users to have the rights? The best thing I have right now is under Computer Configuration / Policies / Windows Settings / Security Settings / File System, adding the folder or file there and then adding an AD User Group to security of the file or folder and giving that group full rights to it. Looking to see if that is best or if another option?

Hello,
Thank you for posting in our TechNet forum.
According to yout description, you want a group with local administrator rights to open certain applications without a UAC prompt.
In order to understand your requirement, it will be appreciate for you to answer the following question.
the group,which you want to open certain application is consist of normal users or just local administrator accounts.
The following link is about local accounts in Window 10:

Cause as I know, the loacl admin accounts have the rights to open certain applications you refer to.
