    How to restrict program execution to Admin Group only


    Some programs don't give the option during install to restrict
    > Run only by current user
    > Run by all users

    How can I restrict a program(s) to be run by Administrators group only? (If can't restrict at the Group Level, then by username?) I'm running Windows 10 Pro v22H2 so Group Policy is an option.

    Thanks.
