Windows 10: How can I allow non Admin Users to set a vlanID on ethernet connection?

I have tried having the user be part of the Network Configuration Operators group which allowed this feature on Windows 10 but no longer works on Windows 11.

Setting a metered connection for Ethernet?

Please permit me to respectfully disagree, battlezone. Not only is it possible to do this, TenForums offers a tutorial that explains exactly how, step-by-step: Set Ethernet Connection as Metered or Unmetered in Windows 10. Do please check it out, won't you?
Thanks,

ATITool 0.24 in non-admin user

Hmm, strange thing. I uninstalled v0.24 and installed v0.23, which works fine. After I read your advices, I installed v0.24 again and "Voila!", it starts in PowerUsers (non-admin) without errors/complains.
Thank you for your suggestions and sorry for the post.

 

Setting a metered connection for Ethernet?

@battlezone, this appear to be a bug in that when greyed out for the standard user it shows as 'off' regardless of the true setting, or it could just be that a standard user doesn't have sufficient rights to find out in that bit the registry.

The simplest way to find out for sure is to check for updates and see what happens. I have set Ethernet as metered in my admin account and, as you say, when I sign into my standard user account it still shows 'Off' in Settings. However, if I then check for updates in the standard user account it shows that it is really set to 'On'.









Edit: I'll have to wait for a new definitions update to be issued before I can test if the same applies to a metered WiFi connection.

I have now tested this for WiFi too. The behaviour is exactly the same. When set to metered by an admin account it is greyed out and shown as 'Off' in a standard account. Checking for updates from a standard account shows that it is actually 'On'.
