Configure the Agent for Windows User Access Control
You can configure an agent that is installed on a Windows computer to submit jobs in the highest privileges (elevated) mode. Elevated mode lets users bypass User Access Control (UAC). UAC improves the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an elevation.
To configure the agent for Windows User Access Control, configure the following parameter on the agent:
oscomponent.logon.elevated
Indicates whether the agent submits jobs in elevated mode on Windows.
true
Submits the job in elevated mode on Windows.
false
Does not submit the job in elevated mode on Windows.
