Doubt UAC
Hi guys,
You guys know what the key ConsentPromptBehaviorUser
do?
If I change the value to zero,
what will be the impact on workstations
with Windows 7?

Yes, it most certainly will. What is it you are trying to achieve?

In fact, I'd like away to raise the credentials of some applications without the UAC message requesting the elevation of credentials.
The strange thing is when I change the key ConsentPromptBehaviorUser to 0 apparently the app works (when the User is in the Power User group).

Hi,
I have test it on my test machine. The user account is in Power User group, not in Administrators group.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\ConsentPromptBehaviorUser
Change the value to 0 means that standard users can't do actions that require UAC.
Change the value to 1 means that standard users prompted for admin username/password.
If add the user account to Administrators group and you can elevate without prompting by changing the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin to 0.
More information, you can refer to
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Hope the information helps.Tracy Cai
