Remote wipe not working on Mac at login screen

How can I update Mac apps without admin prompts?

Hi folks, I tried several ways to create a policy allowing standard users on MacBook to update applications themselves (like Postman, Cursor, Kiro etc.). However, it still asks for admin credentials to update, which creates a bad user experience. How can I fix this?
