MakeAnotherUserAdmin?
this is a wonderful tool, but my org has requirements that the admin account is a different account than the user's primary account on the PC.
would it be possible to use this tool to make another user a temporary admin?
- User A works on the laptop
- User A also has a second user on the laptop, User B (which User A knows the password for)
- User A needs to install an application with admin rights on the laptop
- User A triggers MakeMeAdmin
- MakeMeAdmin promotes User B as a temporary admin
- User A performs the installation using User B's credentials
I have code for something similar to this. I'll have to try to remember where I stashed it. 😅
I actually created it for a school with a similar situation, but after discussing it further, we/they settled on just adding "run as a different user" to the Start menu shortcuts, so Make Me Admin could be run as the secondary user.
