[!INCLUDE Applies to Windows client versions]
Starting in App-V 5.0 SP3, you can configure the App-V client so that only administrators (not end users) can publish or unpublish packages. In earlier versions of App-V, you couldn't prevent end users from performing these tasks.
Here's how to enable only administrators to publish or unpublish packages:
-
Navigate to the following Group Policy Object node:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > App-V > Publishing.
-
Enable the Require publish as administrator Group Policy setting.
To instead use Windows PowerShell to set this item, see Understanding pending packages: UserPending and GlobalPending.
