We use the Unapproved Software list to constantly monitor when new apps get installed without permission from IT. Typically, I can see the new app pop-up, if we approved it to be installed, then I will change it to Allowed Software in Lansweeper. However, there are some applications that we allow a select few users to run, but would like to know when "non approved" users install it.
For example, everyone in IT can install and use Opera, Safari, Firefox, Chrome and IE because we are constantly testing apps in the different browsers. Everyone else in the organization is supposed to only use IE. If I approve all of the different browsers, I don't know if someone outside of IT has installed one of the other browsers without running a report and sifting through the results and eliminating the users who we've already given access.
I would like to be able to approve software for Everyone, or be able to select specific users or pc's.
