Windows has this feature, per https://www.elevenforum.com/t/add-or-remove-run-as-different-user-context-menu-in-explorer-in-windows-11.5080/post-347071, enabled with
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer" -Name ShowRunasDifferentuserinStart -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force
which uses RunAs
, but although Linux obviously has sudo
and su -c ''
, there doesn’t appear to be a GUI equivalent despite having multiple users on a system being as normal. Have I missed something?
Being able to configure something for a different user via my account, and being able to run CLI apps as the superuser via the Launcher would be darn useful.
