QUESTION

How can I disable the ability to install the EFT server service by non-EFT server administrators?

ANSWER

Add the advanced property below to the AdvancedProperties.JSON file. (Logged in Server admins can still use the Install service button.)

{
"DisableUIInstallServiceButtonForNonServerAdminsAndNonLocalUsers":"1"
}

If set to 1 = disable install service button for non-server admins and non-local admins.

If set to 0 or doesn't exist(default) = enable install service button for non-server admins and non-local admins.

Prior to v8, add the advanced property to the registry as a DWORD value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 7.0\​
