How to grant access to user to run installed programs
I have a user set up on my PC and I would like to find out how to grant access to installed programs to them without granting admin permissions. Specifically I am trying to grant access to iTunes which is already installed on the computer.
My Windows version is 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2251

Is the user an administrator?
Right click on the iTunes shortcut and select properties.On the Compatibility tab, select: Run this program as administrator

I set up the user without admin permissions because they tend to create some of their own problems. I have tried to find iTunes in their available programs and it is nowhere to be found under their profile. Do I have to set them up as admin in order for them to use this program, or can I change permissions from my admin account?

Did you install itunes
- as a Store app
If so, note Store apps are installed per user
or
- by downloading an installer and installing it yourself (traditional 'desktop program')?
If the latter, and assuming there's an option, did you choose to install it for all users?

I downloaded and installed the program myself. At the time I was the only user on the computer so if there was an option to allow multiple users, I probably didn't select it. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall it if I can help it. At this point I'm beginning to this that reinstalling may be my only option. I'll look at user permissions and see if there's anything I can do there that might allow them to use the software on the computer.

Right click on the iTunes shortcut and select properties.On the Compatibility tab, select: Run this program as administrator.
You can copy the iTunes shortcut to C:\Users\Public\Desktop so everyone will have access to it.
