Hi All,

 

Can any one please provide me the difference between elevation of application and allowing an application. Thanks

elevation of application is running the app with additional layer of administrative privileges like installation of MSI files or updating of drivers while allowing an application is just simply putting a definition of an application to just run, without any elevation. Definitions for those with elevation will normally have the “Add Admin” token

ex.

Open Command Prompt, will just be allowing an application but if you do a right-click and Run as an admin on the cmd.exe, then that is elevating the Cmd Prompt.
