I just ask for a confirmation. I have Miktex 2.9 installed as administrator on my PC running win10. My University will no longer allow me to have admin rights on my PC but just rights as "poweruser" ( I am the ONLY user of my PC, in reality). It is just a change of policy, don't ask me about that.... Thus, my MikTeX is still working but I cannot upgrade packages etc. (unless I ask the admin to do that for me, of course....), or so it seems to me, when I try. My idea would be to ask for MikTeX to be unistalled and then reinstalled only for my username. Under such conditions, could I be 100% sure that I would be able to regularly upgrade my MikTeX installation, edit the config file for map of new fonts, with lines such as... initexmf --edit-config-file updmap etc. without asking the technician who has admin rights to do that for me? I think so, but I want to be 100% sure.... ThanksMaurizio |

Yes, there is no problem to use miktex in single user mode in a user account without admin rights if you install it in a folder where you have writing and unless they didn't some extra policy that restrict your rights in the user account. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ |

An alternative is to use the portable version. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I've MikTeX installed for a single user in my PC (windows10). In this case, miktex doesn't distinguish between user and admin. I've only one package manager, one miktex-update and one miktex-settings.
