The reason for that is that VeraCrypt needs a device driver to provide transparent on-the-fly encryption/decryption, and users without administrator privileges cannot install/start device drivers in Windows.<br> <br> -After a system administrator installs VeraCrypt on the system, users without administrator privileges will be able to run VeraCrypt, mount/dismount any type of VeraCrypt volume, load/save data from/to it, and create file-hosted VeraCrypt volumes on the system. +After a system administrator installs VeraCrypt on the system, users without administrator privileges will be able to run VeraCrypt, mount/unmount any type of VeraCrypt volume, load/save data from/to it, and create file-hosted VeraCrypt volumes on the system. However, users without administrator privileges cannot encrypt/format partitions, cannot create NTFS volumes, cannot install/uninstall VeraCrypt, cannot change passwords/keyfiles for VeraCrypt partitions/devices, cannot backup/restore headers of VeraCrypt partitions/devices, and they cannot run VeraCrypt in ‘portable’ mode.</p> <div> <table style="border-collapse:separate; border-spacing:0px; text-align:left; font-size:11px; line-height:13px; font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> <tbody style="text-align:left"> <tr style="text-align:left"> <td style="text-align:left; font-size:11px; line-height:13px; font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color:#ff0000; padding:15px; border:1px solid #000000"> Warning: No matter what kind of software you use, as regards personal privacy in most cases, it is <em>not</em> safe to work with sensitive data under systems where you do not have administrator privileges, as the administrator can easily capture and copy your sensitive data, including passwords and keys.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div><div class="ClearBoth"></div></body></html> |
