Google Credential Provider for Windows (GCPW)

[ioneladalcu]

We have GCPW for Windows 11 devices setup. the Local Admin user was deleted after the GCPW was made. So now I do not have admin user to install new apps.

I have gone to Google WOrkSpace - Device- Windows - Setup and chose Enable

however it does not recognise users we have setup with local admin privileges. The and

Local Administrator

Users who sign in through GCPW get local administrative privileges

But it still does not work.

Any help please?

Hello!
You can check this documentation about how to configure the GCPW administrative permission on Windows:
https://support.google.com/a/answer/9539507?hl=en&sjid=16288637899901703501-SA
These are important informations:

1. To set the user's account permissions (requires GCPW):
   • Select Standard User to assign users standard accounts without administrative permissions. If you choose this option, enter at least one account in the Give local administrative access field (described in the next step). Otherwise, no accounts will be in the Local administrator group.
   • Select Local Administrator to assign users local administrative permissions.

     Windows limitations:

     • The user gets the Local Administrator permission level after they sign in to their device the second time after you assign the permission level.

     • Changing a user's permission level from Local Administrator to Standard User isn't supported on Windows 10, version 1803.

1. Under Give local administrative access, enter existing Active Directory users, Active Directory groups, or local Windows user accounts that also get local administrative privileges. Use the following formats:
   • Active Directory users: YourDomain\user
   • Active Directory groups: YourDomain\group
   • Local users: username
