Limit non-admin list to self service only

[lukegriffith]

Currently with feature useBackgroundServiceWithSelfServiceSourcesOnly enabled, a user without admin permissions can do choco list and return items from all configured sources by default, including packages from sources that are not configured for self service.

Would it be possible for non elevated users to only have self service packages returned, as its the only items they can actually install.

[ferventcoder]

If the background service is on and the user is a non-admin that is.

I can look into this after we do #382. Would chocolatey gui do anything? Or would choco.lib be smart enough to only pass back relevant sources & packages?

[ferventcoder]

@RichiCoder1 Chocolatey.lib would be smart enough only to pass back relevant sources.

[ferventcoder]

I'll start adding the details for this feature

[RichiCoder1]

@ferventcoder Is this feature complete? And/or is there something we need to do in GUI still?

[ferventcoder]

I started on this, there is still one component missing here.

@ferventcoder @RichiCoder1 should we bump this to the next release of Chocolatey GUI?

[ferventcoder]

Yes, please.

[gep13]

@ferventcoder am I right in saying that this will be included in the change that I am away to make for using source_list rather then reading the available sources directly from the Chocolatey Configuration file?

[ferventcoder]

@gep13 @lukemgriffith I want to say this is covered by the change to not see admin only - that's where we've decided to hide those sources that would be admin only. Non-admins would see self-service and normal sources.

[ferventcoder]

I want to say that's where this conversation ended up.
