I have ignition installed on my computer and everytime I want to open GCU, It asks for admin credentials. I am not an Admin or I do not have admin rights on this computer. Can you run GCU only as admin?

Yes, it needs admin privileges. You can right-click and “Run as Administrator” instead, or maybe fiddle with your UAC settings in Windows so it doesn’t bother you about it (not really recommended).
