### Allow Standard User Encryption

With this policy you can enforce the *RequireDeviceEncryption* policy for scenarios where policy is pushed while current logged-on user is non-admin/standard user.

*AllowStandardUserEncryption* policy is tied to [Allow warning for other disk encryption](#allow-warning-for-other-disk-encryption) policy being disabled (value `0`).

If *AllowWarningForOtherDiskEncryption* isn't set, or is set to `1`, *RequireDeviceEncryption* policy doesn't try to encrypt drive(s) if a standard user is logged-on.
