UAC Control for PC / App installation / Tech notification
The situation is sometimes clients download free software from the internet which might contain malware, to stop this, I am suggesting a feature in the Atera agent for controlling the UAC of the client. So whenever a client needs UAC admin access, The agent blocks him and in real-time notifies the technician about the authorisation request to approve/deny. If the technician approves the request, the Agent should autofill the Admin password which can be set from the Atera dashboard, and give the client access. If the technician denies it, the message should go to the client of admin denied and the client cannot access the admin privilege to install or change anything.
Thank you.

Hi Charles,
From what you described in the idea, should it be for any software that they want or for a specific list of software that you can pre-define?

When a user wants to install software/programs to their device, I need to login to their device as Administrator and enter the Admin credentials to allow the installation of software/programs.
ConnectWise had a feature that popped up on the Admin console to alert me that a user requires Administrative authorisation to install software/program, I could then allow this by clicking a button in popup window alert or deny the install.
Could this be a new feature for Administrators instead of having to remote into the end users device every time they need to install something?
