Standard User prompted for admin credentials when changing settings in Endpoint Security Client

Technical Articles ID: KB92432
Last Modified: 2/7/2023

Environment

Endpoint Security (ENS) 10.7.0 February 2020 Update, 10.6.1 February 2020 Update

Problem

When you upgrade to ENS 10.6.1 February 2020 Update or ENS 10.7.0 February 2020 Update, and a Standard User tries to change the ENS settings within the ENS Client, a message for administrator credentials displays. Even after you enter correct credentials, the changes can't be saved. The ENS Platform Errors Log contains the following errors:

MFEConsole |MFEConsole | 6416| 20960|MFEConsole |mfeux_extension.cpp(1492) | {
"bl_error": 0,
"data": {

"permissions":

{ "write": false, "read": true, "execute": true }
}
}
