Multi-user settings without Admin Rights

[GiuseppeSorrentino99]

Issue Solved:

1. Allowing to use Riallto without giving Admin rights
2. Allowing multiple users to use Riallto at the same time without Windows Enterprise/Pro

Hello everyone!

@mariodruiz just helped me in setting the Mini-PC for a multi-user configuration where every user has no admin rights.
I want to share the temporary solution with you if someone needs it.

At the time of now, I had issues installing Riallto on non-admin accounts, so the solution found is:

On the Admin account, I can:

1. Open a non-admin terminal
2. Activate Riallto with the command: activate_venv.ps1
3. Entering the folder: C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/riallto_notebook_user_ID
4. Use the following command

py.exe -m jupyterlab --ip='0.0.0.0' --no-browser --NotebookApp.password= --port --NotebookApp.terminals_enabled=False

This will allow to create a jupyter server that:

1. Requires a specific password
2. Relies on a specific Port
3. Has no terminal enabled.

This last step is crucial.
Indeed, since we executed using an Admin account and a Powershell terminal with no admin rights, even if the jupyter has no admin rights, we need to turn off terminals to prevent the opening of shells in the Admin account.

The users will be able to connect at IP:port and use their own Riallto framework.

Thanks to this solution, we also temporarily solved another important issue:

Without Windows Server/Enterprise, we cannot connect multiple users simultaneously. However, since this solution only requires the Admin account, it allows multiple users to use different jupyter servers at the same time.

Waiting for a way to completely isolate Riallto installation on multiple users without giving them admin rights, this is a working solution that solved almost all my Issues.

Thank you again for your support. I hope this is helpful for others.
