I need to run my app which will install and upgrade if needed.this is on
both admin and non-admin user.another question if i write a script in admin
user which is related to non-admin user does it run.i mean if i run the
script in admin user which includes the switch user script to another user
and run my furthur script to complete my tasks.i will give more if needed.
If an installer script is written correctly, installs the
various components to the correct places and sets the
permissions of those components as required there should be no
need to switch accounts. In fact I've never seen an installer
that switched accounts as part of an install. However, there
are cases when an installer will require authentication to
install components into sensitive locations i.e. installing
something into /Library (not ~/Library) usually does.
