Specify whether or not you wish to use the client with the non-Administrator user permissions that do not include Administrator permissions.

In the case of a Windows NT client, you can set up the client so that any user can install packages, not just the user who installed the client. This page is not provided during setup of client facilities for JP1/Software Distribution Manager.

Run the client with non-Administrator user permissions
If you select this check box, a user who did not install the Client will be able to install packages in the GUI installation mode and display processing messages. This means that a user who does not have Administrator permissions (a non-Administrator user) will be able to install packages.
For JP1/Software Distribution Client (client), the default is that this check box is selected.
For JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system), the default is that this check box is cleared.
For details about installation with non-Administrator user permissions, see 11.2.3 Installing software using non-Administrator user permissions under Windows NT in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 1.

Use the Package Setup Manager or Execute Job Backlog command when a client is not resident
This check box is not displayed during setup of client facilities for JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system). This check box is enabled when the following settings are specified for JP1/Software Distribution Client (client):
  • The Run the client with non-Administrator user permissions check box is selected.
  • On the Default Running Status/Polling page, the Client starts automatically at system boot check box is not selected.
When you select this check box, a user logged on with a non-Administrator user permission can install the following packages using the Package Setup Manager or the Execute Job Backlog icon of the client even though the client is not resident:
  • Packages that require registration, starting, or stopping of a service
  • Packages that create new registry keys
  • Packages whose installation directory and file access permissions do not include read, write, or delete.
Note that when you select this check box, the dmpusers.exe process is made resident.
