I need a program or something that can be managed from Intune so that users can modify the computer's environment variables without having administrator permissions. I understand that, for example, it could be possible to create a rule with the endpoint manager privilege, but is there any other alternative?

I have an idea... but maybe a stupid one 🙂
Step 1:
If you could create a powershell script with this content in it
rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables
Step 2: Create a scheduled task that will use the serviceui to bring the prompt to the user and make sure that scheduled task is launched as system. Give the user permissions to that task and create a shortcut to the desktop...

- hugo566788Dec 13, 2023Copper ContributorHello, thanks for the help but after performing the actions mentioned they are not useful for the action I want to perform 😞

Mmm... but you want to be able to configure system environment variables as standard user, right? If i am getting the question wrong, could you try to explain a bit more what you want to accomplish 🙂
Because as not useful does that mean as in not working or?
