Hi all,

aside from the question if Auto Updates are good or not I am interested in whether Office 2016 Auto Updater needs Admin rights or not when set to "Auto Update&Install".

Someone who actually tested this?

Thanks
Thomas

If your users are not local admins then yes, they will be prompted to provide admin creds
