Giving standard user administrator rights on one application
I'm a trainee Windows Deployment on a high school with about 500 clients (Windows 10) and still learning. We manage everything with SCCM 2016. I'm struggling with the following problem. A client asked us to install an application named "Avolites Titan PC". Offcourse this is no problem, but our student are standard users without admin rights. Here it comes, the application needs administrator rights to start. What's the best way to realise this? Offcourse i Googled it and the solution to make a shortcut to the program and run it as admin seems a bit of a hassle, especially since the application is build up in multiple executables. The execute wants to write some registery keys to the register. Giving the user writing rights on c:\program files(x86)\Avolites doesn't does the trick neither.
Thanks so much guys.

Running without Administrator privileges is not supported and there is apossibility that it could make some functions not work or the software tobecome unstable. One option could be use an application such as RunAsRob to allow the application to run elevated from a standarduser account.
If you do wish to try and run without elevation I would suggest that thefollowing two registry keys are made writable:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Avolites\Desk\FactorySettings
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Avolites\Titan
It is likely that some network functions will notwork, in particular setting IP addresses will not be possible and may not failgracefully.
This may not be everything and running in this way has not been tested."
I tried this, gave write permissions to the two registry keys but still UAC is asking for admin credentials.
