Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Andrew (andrewz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: cannot install SpamBayes without elevated privileges Initial Comment: Under an administrated Windows Domain it is important that some users not have the ability to install their own software or modify their registry. And yet it is important that These same users, running Outlook & Exchange, have Spam filtering capability like SpamBayes. It is not currently possible to install SpamBayes for a user from the Administrator account, it is also not possible to install SpamBayes from a locked down account. it would be great to have this feature in an upcoming version. thanks, AndrewZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2005-12-05 21:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 The documentation explains how to register for all users, and the 1.1 installer offers to do this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Andrew (andrewz) Date: 2003-08-11 05:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=588328 You certainly don't want non-admin users installing anything or making registry changes, agreed. But it would be nice to allow the admin to install for a user or class of users. Or have a separate util which enables for a user after SpamBayes is installed. Nero does this with a separate util called 'Burn Rights'. Thanks, Andrew ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Date: 2003-08-10 10:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14198 A non-admin user can't get far at all here - such users can't register COM objects in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, so is pretty much screwed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Date: 2003-08-07 11:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14198 I agree, it would be great to have in the next version. Any takers? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498106&aid=784283&group_id=61702 _______________________________________________ Spambayes-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes-bugs
