The title says it all but I'll reiterate. How do CC apps downloaded with the Creative Cloud desktop app get installed without asking for administrator user/password? Its the sam on both Mac and Windows and I don't understand how its doing it. This seems like a security hole to me.

Hi Jeff,

No this a CC for teams subscription. I noticed today while installing apps via the CC desktop app on Windows 8.1 that the initial installation of the desktop app required admin authentication but apps downloaded from it installed without asking for authentication. The user account I was logged in as is NOT an admin, just a regular domain user.
