Is there a way that authentication at launch can be avoided e.g. authentication at install gives the application permission thereafter????

Of course there is -- the setuid bit (see general unix access privileges for details).


That said, it is a generally **very dangerous** thing unless used **with extreme care**; you should refrain from using setuids far as possible (best not to use them at all). The explicit authentification though the Auth Services is **ways** better and more secure.
