Allow Users to Specify Installing to AllUsers via new $Scope Variable in Initialize-SCuBA #1388
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
@buidav Can you kindly provide some specific testing guidance on how to test the -Scope AllUsers option? For example, after I execute it, where do I check to ensure it completed as expected? |
This is meant for systems with multiple users. User1 and User2. |
Thanks. It sounds like we need to test on a virtual machine. Please review my testing steps below and update them if necessary. Testing Steps

Looks good. |

Works as expected. Testing I performed:
- Create 3 users on a VM: Alice, Bob, and an admin account.
- Run
Initialize-Scuba
as normal as Alice. Alice now has the required PowerShell modules, as expected. - Login as Bob. Bob still does not have the required PowerShell modules, as expected.
- Login as the admin. Run
Initialize-Scuba -Scope AllUsers
. The admin now has the required PowerShell modules, as expected. - Login as Bob. Bob now has the required PowerShell modules, as expected.
One suggestion would be to document this feature in the README, perhaps near the top of the Dependencies page. Something like "Note: the Initialize-SCuBA
cmdlet can optionally install the required modules system-wide, if run as an administrator with -Scope AllUsers
." Not essential, approving either way.
🗣 Description
$Scope
to Initialize-SCuBA to let users install toAllUsers
, a place where all users can access the dependent PowerShell modules, rather than just theCurrentUser
on their system.💭 Motivation and context
Closes #882
🧪 Testing
Initalize-SCuBA
by itself. Should be the normal behavior.Initialize-SCuBA -Scope AllUsers
