Remote control access: Is there a way to enable access to logging on as local Admin via remote

As stated above.

 

We want to replace using team-viewer with Zoom Remote Control, however we have all our PC's locked down with local user access only. So If I remote in and want to uninstall something for example, I have no way of entering the local Admin credentials (or ANY credentials for that matter) when they are asked of me.. I don't want to give the user the Admin passwords for the device for obvious reasons. 

Is there a way to enable this behavior so I CAN enter the credentials?

This works flawlessly with Teamviewer, however if we can save money on buying yearly licenses and just roll it into one platform that would be great.


Thanks

As I understand it, TeamViewer is giving you access at the admin level when you connect from your end to the far side client? Probably a function of the TeamViewer. If your network allows for it and you are all Windows, remote desktop viewer is free from MS. It's same as RPD but your session is live on the current login, it doesn't log out the other user.

Maybe you have this locked out by GPO or some admin template - but you should be able to Right-Click, Run As on virtually anything in Windows and enter credentials. Is that not an option in your situation?
