Uninstall Global Protect Client without Admin Rights ??

Victor.Newsom — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 17:16:00 GMT

I have noticed that the Global Protect Portal Config - Agent Configs - App Tab has an "Allow user to uninstall Global Protect App (Windows Only)" setting. I have set this option to yes, but when I had users try to uninstall the Global Protect Client via the Control Panel and by right clicking that Global Protect App and selecting uninstall, they are prompted to enter the username and password of an account with administrative access. The users in question do not have administrative access to their computers. Has anyone been able to successfully use this uninstall option with users who do not have administrative access to their computers?

Hi Victor,

User needs to have admin rights in order to uninstall the GlobalProtect application on the windows endpoint.
