      At large organizations you’re generally not allowed to download much of anything without it passing through IT security and management first. If it’s a no, it will probably stay a no.

        I work for a non-profit and they are way more lenient about what we would like to install as long as the job gets done.

        Just remember,it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!

          Just to be clear, I mean it’s literally managed at the Group Policy level (in Windows server environments at least) and no amount of asking will suddenly give your user account permissions to be able to save files of any kind.

          You generally literally cannot download it without going through IT to get them to approve of and give your account access first.

            Ya I forgot I have escalated device privileges and an admin account, which I definitely would have used for installing anything. Although I believe I can also skirt the rules using winget on a user account. That will probably get you in trouble however!
