I have a government furnished laptop (GFE). My normal user is not an admin on the laptop. I have a separate admin login on the laptop. I was able to install databricks-cli as the admin user but it installed under that users appdata python path which is not accessible by my regular user. I added the folder to the environment path variable, again as the admin user, for everyone and when I check path, as my regular user, the python folder entry is in there but I do not have read rights to the folder. Here again, my regular user WILL NOT BE ALLOWED access to the folder under my admin user tree.
Is there a combination of install qualifiers, like --root or --target, which will put the cli into a more central folder which read rights for my regular user can be granted?
My apologies if this has been addressed already in another thread. I searched for an hour and found nothing.

can you run a docker container with your regular user, because you can run it in docker:

There is also some installation info:

We found a central install location which already had all of the correct install information for GFEs.
