How to let standard user run an application that asks for administrator previleges

Question

I have an application that asks for adminin previleges to run on a user account with standard previleges on a Windows 7 OS. Assuming that there is no way of him knowing the Admin password what would be the best solution to bypass this problem?

Solution 1

To solve the problem you need to add admin previleges to the program needed to that user. This link explains in details how to bypass this problem.

Solution 2

My kids record in-game video for some of their games using Bandicam, which requires admin permissions to run. I use RunasSpc to launch the program as administrator.

I configured a RunasSpc instance specifically for Bandicam, and gave the kids a desktop shortcut that kicks off the RunasSpc process and initiates Bandicam startup.

Once an admin sets up RunasSpc, using it is literally so simple that a 6-year-old can do it.

Provide the user the required permissions to run it without administrator permissions

Doing what you describe still requires the user providing the require administrator authentication in order to do the intial permission escalation on the process

You just have to do it once, next time it won't ask again
