Global Protect

Hi Everyone,

We need some clarification the GP users are using the 5.2.6 version if we perform the upgrade GP version to 5.2.8 in the firewall.
Kindly let me know whether the old GP version users will be affected or not. The GP users don't have admin rights to update their local machine for the GP agent app.

Thanks & Regards,

pravin

@SupportStaff,

This depends on your GlobalProtect client config. See this KB Article that goes over the various agent upgrade methods that can be configured. The fact that the user doesn't have admin rights doesn't matter since GP runs as a service. The transparent upgrade method will still function even if the user isn't an admin.
