# How to Allow Only Administrators to Enable Connection Groups
**Applies to**
- Windows 10, version 1607
You can configure the App-V client so that only administrators (not end users) can enable or disable connection groups. In earlier versions of App-V, you could not prevent end users from performing these tasks.
**Note**<br>
This feature is supported starting in App-V 5.0 SP3.
Use one of the following methods to allow only administrators to enable or disable connection groups.

<p><strong>Computer Configuration &gt; Administrative Templates &gt; System &gt; App-V &gt; Publishing</strong></p></td>

<tr class="even">
<td align="left"><p>Windows PowerShell cmdlet</p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Run the <strong>Set-AppvClientConfiguration</strong> cmdlet with the <strong>-RequirePublishAsAdmin</strong> parameter.</p>
<p>Parameter values:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>0 - False</p></li>
<li><p>1 - True</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Example: <strong>Set-AppvClientConfiguration -RequirePublishAsAdmin 1</strong></p></td>
