From what I can tell, this is semantically equivalent to calling sudo in a shell (and may well be what it does inside for real, but I don't know all the ins and outs). An "admin user" is effectively a user in the sudoers file or equivalent to one, but you still need to authenticate yourself before doing something sudo-ey. 2009/4/6 Rick Mann <rmann@latencyzero.com>:
I just realized, it seems Leopard offers *only* Admin authentication. However, I am always prompted, even though I am already an admin user. Is there a way to reduce the need to be prompted?

Looking at this document:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/installerpolicy.html
I see that what we would like to have used to be available. That is, if the user is already an admin, we don't want them to have to authenticate. Is this no longer available, why?
And why is this doc so out of date?
TIA, Rick
