Would that really be any different from making the user an admin directly?– grawity_u1686Commented Aug 17, 2023 at 16:25

1Possibly, but not quite.. USER-S (in this scenario) effectively has the permission of USER-A to piggbyback off their admin credentials (USER-S has been given the user name and password to use). If, for some reason, USER-A wishes to withdraw their permission that can be done by changing the password for the USER-A account or deleting USER-A . In either case, the auto-entered credentials would no longer work, but USER-S has not changed.– AlainDCommented Aug 17, 2023 at 16:32

User A can also withdraw that permission by using their admin privileges to remove User S from admins, no?– grawity_u1686Commented Aug 17, 2023 at 16:37

@u1686_grawity: Being in the admin group affects the whole user account. The way described would only affect a single program execution, nothing else. I do have use cases where this would be very comfortable - but i have no solution, so i'm curious how this will turn out.– xphCommented Aug 19, 2023 at 14:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
