      Given a system that has Chocolatey installed, the following scenarios apply:

      • When admin_only is not specified, the setting should be false in the chocolatey.config.
      • When admin_only => true, the setting should be true in the chocolatey.config.
      • When admin_only => false, the setting should be false in the chocolatey.config.

    • We're starting to see customers asking for this, at least a handful in Australia so far. Forcing them to workaround the module or not use the supported chocolatey module to get this to work is not great.
    • New Feature
    • This adds the ability to configure a source to allow it to be set to administrators only for Chocolatey for Business.

    Description

      Chocolatey added the ability to set a source available for Administrators only in Chocolatey v0.10.8 and Chocolatey Licensed v1.12.2 - see https://chocolatey.org/docs/release-notes-licensed#august-31-2017

      The chocolateysource will need a property to address that addition: admin_only

      chocolateysource {'chocolatey_internal':
        ensure   => present,
        location => 'https://internal/chocolatey',
        priority => 1,
        admin_only => true
      }
      

      This is a business only feature, but the toggle exists in FOSS, so it should be able to be set in any edition of Chocolatey past v0.10.8.
