Title: Turn off password requirement for "Scan selected items for viruses"?
Post by: AnotherUsername on January 04, 2019, 06:48:41 PM

We have Avast Business Antivirus and have the Avast UI password protected.  Is there a way to allow the "Scan selected items for viruses" without requiring a password to do so?  We want regular users to have the option to manually scan selected files without needing the password.  It seems like the Avast console should have a granular way to assign password requirements so we can do something like lock the UI (so users can't do things like turn off protections) but allow users to do manual scans themselves.

Thanks

Just for future reference (in case either of you want to check the status of these bugs), our development/production team combined CBC-7826 into CBC-7696.

Hello Avast,

Where are you with the CBC-7696 bug report ?
We are now in March 2020 and I can see it is not resolved yet ?
