Sorry for the late reply. But this seems to disable the UAC prompt, not remove the need for local admin rights. If the app needs local admin rights it makes it unsuitable for managed environments where clients don't have local admin rights.

Hi @Niels-NL 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Since I tried this on a test computer at that time, I bypassed this prompt. I think that might fix the issue you have.

If, like you said, it requires the local admin authorization, then we cannot bypass the Windows since we need to modify the settings.

I don't think that we can make a difference and this falls back to the root cause that modifying networking settings requires admin authorization.

 

You should try it at least.

 

Update:

Forgot to say, it was asking for the password of the admin before I made a change to this. After this, it never asks and launches it instantly.

Thanks for the workaround but at this moment we will only use the app on computers where the user is a local admin. In that the case the UAC isn't that big an issue. The reason why we can't use the app for our managed customers is because they don't have local admin rights so I hope in a future release this changes.

Hi,

 

Same issue as Niels. Your software is impossible to use with our company. Users can't have admin rights and this software needs admin rights to be run. We don't speak about installation. I don't understand your answer to Niels. As admin we can't spend our time to bypass UAC using tricks to run software. As example no one modify the registry to run word or excel after installation. If some parameters modifications needs admin rights so the UAC windows must pop at this moment not at the launching.

Maybe a correction in the next version will be really useful for anyone.

 

Best regards

You have been explained the reason why and offered a temp workaround here but you rejected my suggestion. So, you can read the following paragraph and wait for it. Or you can use the dedicated software to connect such as WireGuard, and OpenVPN.

And note, that if there is no resolution from the dev to bypass it, there will not be an update to fix it. I am informing you that this enters the evaluation phase. It is not a guarantee from me.

 

Thank you for your feedback and post. We have forwarded your request to our developer team for evaluation.
To stay updated on firmware releases, we recommend subscribing to the pinned thread on the related page or regularly checking our official website where new releases are typically announced promptly. Get the Latest Firmware Releases for Omada Routers Here - Subscribe for Updates
Please note that all requests undergo a thorough evaluation by our developer team before being added to the roadmap. This process may take some time, so please be patient if you don't see immediate results. Features with lower priority or fewer user reports might experience delays in implementation as we gather more feedback and compare it with competitor products.
It is important to understand that submitting a request does not guarantee its implementation; only requests that pass the evaluation will be considered for inclusion in future updates.
