Explanation

Administrator permissions on the local machine are required to run the full Microsoft 365 network connectivity test tool, specifically the advanced test client executable that downloads from the The tool needs these elevated permissions because it performs a series of advanced network diagnostics and tests at a low level that standard user accounts are not permitted to do. If the required .NET runtime is not installed, administrator permissions are also needed to install Power Users is an older Windows security group (deprecated since Windows XP, though still present for compatibility in some contexts) and does not provide the necessary privileges for the low-level network tests the tool performs. Network Configuration Operators have permissions to change some network settings like IP addresses, but not the broad system access needed to run all aspects of the advanced diagnostic Users (standard users) have the most restricted permissions and are not able to run the executable without being prompted for administrator credentials. https://petri.com/network-connectivity-tool-office365
