A question about Trusted Publishers...

[Guest]

I'm creating an Excel add-in for my company and I was getting tired of
clicking "Enable Macos" every time I opened up my project so I did a little
looking around and found info on this: VBE > Tools > Digital Signature... So
I went in and it allowed me to use my own credentials (Company Name\User
Name) to sign the macros. I saved and closed Excel; then reopened it. When I
did, I was greeted with a different typeof macro security prompt about an
"untrusted publisher" (listed my username) and, at the bottom, was a checkbox
for "always trust this publisher". SO naturally, I checked the box, saved and
closed Excel. When I reopened my project, I didn't get the macro security
prompt and the project loaded fine. So here's the question: is my project
going to work on other employee's machines? Will they get the same "trusted
publisher" prompt or will it just load like it did for me?
