Crossover Run As Administrator

Local area network (LAN): A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment. Run Windows smoothly on your Mac using CrossOver. It runs 1000s of Windows applications on Mac, including software for utility, productivity, design, games, and more. With CrossOver, you require no VMs or Windows licenses. Just enjoy native functionalities like keyboard shortcuts, copy and paste, mission control, etc. Windows cannot access User-pc e. You do not have permission to access User-pc e.Contact your network administrator to reques access. I connected my two computers both with windows 7 OS.I think that everything has been set up correctly but i can't access anything i share.Firewall is turned off on both pc's, is there anything else that can. So in brief, to connect to the console management port at the back, you will need a Console Roll-over cable and a DB9 to USB adapter. Edited by Admin February 16, 2020 at 4:26 AM.

It concerns me that the game client still insists on running as Administrator. Is there any way around this? During beta, we were told that it was necessary for testing. That's fine, but now we're at release, so what gives?
Sure, I can run both my mouse software and Ventrilo in Administrator mode too, but that shouldn't be necessary. It's been several years now since Microsoft laid down their edict with Vista for developers to stop writing software that needed to Run as Administrator.
Is this a problem that will be fixed? Or should I/we be getting used to this norm?
Thanks!
Warning: All of the following methods have security implications that users should be aware of. As put by Emmanuele Bassi, a GNOME developer: 'there are no *real*, substantiated, technological reasons why anybody should run a GUI application as root. By running GUI applications as an admin user you are literally running millions of lines of code that have not been audited properly to run under elevated privileges; you are also running code that will touch files inside your $HOME and may change their ownership on the file system; connect, via IPC, to even more running code, etc. You are opening up a massive, gaping security hole [...].'[1]

Avoid running graphical applications as root if possible, see #Circumvent running graphical apps as root.

Circumvent running graphical apps as root

sudoedit

To edit files as root, use sudoedit.

GVFS

Access to privileged files and directories is possible through GVFS by specifying the adminbackend in the URI scheme[2][3], e.g.:

or

Tip: This can also be done from the application location bar/file selector: e.g. in nautilus or gedit, type Ctrl+l and then prepend the admin:// scheme to the resource path. The same effect can be attained via the Other locations server address bar.

Xorg

Run As Administrator Windows 7

By default, and for security reasons, root will be unable to connect to a non-root user's X server. There are multiple ways of allowing root to do so however, if necessary.

The proper, recommended way to run GUI apps under X with elevated privileges is to create a Polkit policy, as shown in this forum post. This should however 'only be used for legacy programs', as pkexec(1) reminds. Applications should rather 'defer the privileged operations to an auditable, self-contained, minimal piece of code that gets executed after doing a privilege escalation, and gets dropped when not needed'[4]. This may be the object of a bug report to the upstream project.

Punctual methods

Those methods wrap the application in an elevation framework and drop the acquired privileges once it exits:

  • kdesu(1) (from kde-cli-tools)
  • sudo (must be properly configured)
  • suxAUR (wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials)

Alternate methods

These methods will allow root to connect to a non-root user's X server, but present varying levels of security risks, especially if you run ssh. If you are behind a firewall, you may consider them to be safe enough for your requirements.

Xhost

Xhost can be used to temporarily allow root access.

Permanently allow root access

Method 1: Add the line

to /etc/pam.d/su and /etc/pam.d/su-l. Then switch to your root user using su or su -.

Method 2: Globally in /etc/profile

Add the following line to /etc/profile:

This will permanently allow root to connect to a non-root user's X server.

Or, merely specify a particular app:

Crossover run as administrator program

where appname is the name of the particular app. (e.g. kwrite)

Wayland

Trying to run a graphical application as root via su, sudo or pkexec in a Wayland session (e.g. GParted or Gedit), will fail with an error similar to this:

Before Wayland, running GUI applications with elevated privileges could be properly implemented by creating a Polkit policy, or more dangerously done by running the command in a terminal by prepending the command with sudo; but under (X)Wayland this does not work anymore as the default has been made to only allow the user who started the X server to connect clients to it (see the bug report and theupstreamcommits it refers to).

Crossover Run As Administrator Tool

Avoid running graphical applications as root if possible, see #Circumvent running graphical apps as root.

A more versatile though more insecure workaround allows any graphical application to be run as root #Using xhost.

Using xhost

This article or section needs expansion.

Reason: Mention that xhost only works under XWayland. (Discuss in Talk:Running GUI applications as root#)

Crossover Run As Administrator Definition

A more versatile —though much less secure— workaround is to use xhost to temporarily allow the root user to access the local user's X session[5]. To do so, execute the following command as the current (unprivileged) user:

To remove this access after the application has been closed:
