# 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 users, can enable or disable connection groups. In earlier versions of App-V, there was no way to restrict access to disabling connection groups to users.
>[!NOTE]
>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.
|Method|Steps|
|---|---|
|Group Policy setting|Enable the “Require publish as administrator” Group Policy setting, which is located in the following Group Policy Object node:<br><br>**Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **System** > **App-V** > **Publishing**|
|Windows PowerShell cmdlet|Run the **Set-AppvClientConfiguration** cmdlet with the *-RequirePublishAsAdmin* parameter. <br><br>Parameter values:<br>- **0** False<br>- **1** True<br><br>Example: ```Set-AppvClientConfiguration -RequirePublishAsAdmin 1```|
