Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
It would be great to include a --provision feature for msstore apps, so that they can easily be provisioned from winget... rather than having to use external sources to download the package and dependencies and do that all manually.
Proposed technical implementation details
Run winget install [msstore app] --provision
(prompts for admin if not already elevated)
Result = provisioned on the system so that all users will have the application.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the CLI handles winget install for Microsoft Store apps and where elevation is requested. Define the provisioning behavior for --provision, including all-user installation and package dependencies, then add coverage for the command and verify the resulting app is provisioned for all users.
