Thanks all on the original thread for sharing their feedback :)Ĭonsider the scenario where a domain admin's standard environment is compromised with some form of pernicious malware. We'll go do some homework and respond to this thread with what we find. If not, can Terminal be built/delivered allowing users to run under a different identity?.Can the UWP app platform provide a way to run UWP apps under a different/specific user identity?.under a different user account with different permissions/rights than their normal/general user account.Īlas, UWP apps do not currently support the ability to run under a different identity than the currently logged-in user. The primary ask here is that users, particularly those in enterprise scenarios, often need to run commands/scripts/etc. Note: This is not sudo or run elevated - that's a different concept since elevation runs a process with the current user's identity, but with additional (admin) rights. This issue is a fork from a conversation started in #146 (specifically this comment onwards) discussing if/whether Terminal can/could support being runas a different user identity than the currently logged-in user.
