So I would ask the people who would argue against a simple high- level file access authorization service -- do you really prefer the alternatives?


Definitely.

Since the alternative is clean, secure, and easy: just log in as admin and perform the copy in that account.


If you think that is "the" alternative, you must be advocating removing su, sudo, AuthServices, etc. -- essentially the setuid() family -- from the operating system?


Best wishes,
Hamish
