SDL Language Plugin - User profile, lack of admin rights and SCCM deployment.

Hi everyone,

I'm having some difficulties trying to wrap my head around installing the SDL Language Cloud plugin for our users in the company.

When I install the SDL Language Cloud plugin on one of our users computers, it prompts me for admin credentials.. No problem..
Our users do not have administrative rights on their personal computers, so typing in the credentials is required. I can bypass this with the SCCM deployment as well..

BUT, when I type in the correct credentials, it looks like the plugin installs just fine... Just not for the user.... but under the admin account' profile on the PC..
So when the user opens up Word or Outlook - there's no plugin enabled, because it's not installed for that user..

If the user has admin rights, there's no problem - and the program installs just fine - but like I said, none of our users have admin rights on their computers, so that's not an option.

Is there any way for it to be installed in the users profile/context instead of the admin' installing it, or is it possible to manually copy/paste the settings into the users profile, for it to be activated when the user opens up word etc.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

  • Hi Steven,

    Thanks for your response.

    I'm an IT employee in the company, and I'm looking for a way to automatically install the plugin for the users who needs it.

    I appreciate that the plugin needs admin rights for the installation, but it's not even possible for me to type in my admin credentials when the users get prompted by the UAC, because then it installs itself into my profile instead of the user who initiated the installation..

    I can't preinstall the plugin on the computers either, because it has to be installed AS the user who needs it.

    Is there somehow to get the plugin installed in the users profile, even if they get prompted by the UAC requiring admin credentials?

    Thanks again,

    Kind Regards
