Private Packages
Is there a way to see another administrator's Private Packages? We suspect unapproved software is being installed on the sly and we'd like to verify.

There's no built-in way to do that, but I can think of a couple of workarounds.
1) A SQL query. Please be careful when directly accessing the database.
SELECT
ConsoleUsersInfo.UserName
, Packages.Name
FROM
Packages
INNER JOIN
Folders USING (FolderId)
INNER JOIN
ConsoleUsersInfo USING (ConsoleUsersInfoId)
ORDER BY
ConsoleUsersInfo.UserName
;2) Log onto your Central Server and switch it to Local Mode. All Private Packages folders will become normal folders. There are a couple of caveats though, which is why I made this the second option.
1) Every user will be able to see these folders if they log onto the machine running Deploy.
2) Switching back to Server Mode will not convert those folders back into Private Packages folders. New Private Packages folders will be created. This could be remedied by restoring a backup.
