Description: The ‘Run as’ command is a feature in operating systems that allows a user to run a program with different permissions than the current user’s permissions. This feature is particularly useful in environments where access to administrative functions or resources restricted to standard users is required. By using ‘Run as’, the user can specify different credentials, allowing them to run applications with elevated privileges or in the context of another user. This not only enhances security by limiting access to critical system functions but also facilitates the management of tasks that require special permissions without needing to switch sessions or log out of the current one. ‘Run as’ can be invoked through the graphical interface by right-clicking on a program or via the command line, providing a versatile tool for managing permissions in the operating system. This functionality is essential for system administrators and advanced users who need to perform specific tasks that require a higher level of access than they normally possess.
