Rhino 8 change Python 3.9 installation path

Hello,
We have updated to Rhino 8 at our company, however our coworkers can’t use the new Python 3 scripts feature. When they try it, they get the following error message:

Language Python 3.9.10 (mcnell.pythonnet.python) is not yet ready or failed initialization.

By checking the error logs, we identified that Python in Rhino is blocked by group policy (see logs below). I have talked with our IT and they mention that this is a security policy at the User folder level.

My question:

• Is it possible to configure the installation path for .rhinocode\py39-rh8\python.exe? For example, to setup the installation at C:\ProgramData\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\.
