Next, create a Blank Application Control Policy by doing the following steps:

Navigate to Policies > Arellia Solutions > Application Control > Policies 

Right-click Policies and select New > Blank Application Control Policy 

Set the application target to the new UAC detected filter from step 2

Optionally you can change this so only certain applications or certain users will have the UAC prompt overridden

Under Exclude conditions add the Administrators filter to stop child processes (which inherit elevation) from triggering this policy

Click on the Application Actions tab and set the action to the Clear UAC dialog action from step 6

Also set the action to include one of the following:

Add Administrator Rights, and Justify Application Elevation Dialog (will behave like [READY] Self-Elevation)

Add Administrator Rights, and Justify Application Elevation (kill process) Dialog (will behave like [READY] Self-Elevation Without Adding Administrator Rights)

Add Administrator Rights, and Approval Request Form Action (will behave like [READY] Request Elevation)

Save the policy and update the policies on an endpoint. Test the policy by right-clicking Command Prompt and selecting Run as administrator
