Using Nsight Systems without direct administrator rights on windows

Developer Tools Nsight Systems Profiling x86 Windows Targets

Hello! I am looking for a way to run Nsight Systems 2024.2.1 x64 without requiring the user to have an administrator account on Windows 10 x64. I see that the main application calls a command like “nsys.exe –start-worker –name nsys-worker-{username} –creator-name nsys-worker-{username}{processID}”. Then the UAC prompt shows up asking for permission. Could an administrator run this command somehow (as a service for example) allowing the user to work with Nsight without needing an administrator account? Is there any other way to accomplish this? From my testing I have not been able to make it work.

Thanks!

Up !

Hello, I have the same issue, I don’t have admin rights on my Windows 10 PC, I’m also stuck during the Nsight Systems starting process when selecting my local machine.
I don’t know if there is a way during the installation to accept non-admin users to use Nsight Systems.

Even by following this guide concerning admin priviledge error, I ticked “Allow access to the GPU performance counter to all users” in the NVIDIA Control Panel with the help of an administrator and reboot, it still asks for admin right on Nsight Systems when I want to start a process.

Thanks !
