Hi Bill,
Thanks for the response!
This is the intended functionality. We are allowing a user to
install system-wide content to our application. We also have the
ability for users to install content for a single user with admin
privileges.
Ah... OK. That makes sense and is a reasonable use case (i.e. what
bug the heck out of users all the time :).
It is also a problem that has been addressed a number of times.
As someone mentioned, can you use an installer package? pkgs can
require authentication.
As well, the previously mentioned authopen could be used to write
files with authorization.

And this:

Seem to be a good starting point.
However, this document seems to potentially address your needs:
