Question

What's the difference between Admin and Non-Admin installs of Alteryx?

Answer

Admin Version

The Admin version requires administrator permissions on the machine. All users on the machine can run it and it is installed in the system Program Files directory. The Admin version also includes Alteryx Scheduler, which requires a license.

Non-Admin Version

The Non-Admin version does not require administrator privileges on the machine. It installs in the user’s App Data location, and only the user who installed it can run it.

Refer to the Help documentation: Admin and Non-Admin Install Guide
