I have a program that requires either: - Administrative privileges OR - User privileges if user is added to (or is already member of) "Network Configuration Operators" group Launching mentioned program with administrative privileges displays too much sensitive information on screen, but launching mentioned program as user (who is member of "Network Configuration Operators") hides sensitive information without limiting other functions of the mentioned program. There is only one user account on PC where user is administrator and user is already added as member of "Network Configuration Operators" group, but mentioned program defaults to using administrative privileges and displays too much sensitive information on screen. How to create a shortcut or a script that forces mentioned program to launch only as user (with "Network Configuration Operators" privileges) when user is administrator? I basically want to de-privilege user administrator account to "Network Configuration Operators" user privileges for this one specific application.
Add your user to the needed group or create a new user with the required privileges/group then use psexec / psexec64 psexec64 -u USER -p PASSWORD program.exe or use secpol.msc to twak what a user / group can/cannot do.
... I need to run that program NOT as admin, but as Network Configuration Operator while using user account where user is member of admin group and is member of Network Configuration Operators group.
Wouldn't I have to switch between 2 accounts by logging in and out just to run that one application? Is there no "Run As 'Network Configuration Operator' " context menu tweak or something similar?
You mean the same USER works as a real login, but don't work trough psexec ? If so try to add -i or -i 1
