Privileges overview

Privileges is an application that allows users to work as a standard user for day-to-day tasks, by providing a quick and easy way to request administrator rights. Users can set a timeframe in the application’s settings to perform specific tasks, such as installing or removing an application. To request admin rights, simply click on the Privileges icon in your Dock. Command line use is supported as well.
Working as standard user instead of an administrator adds another layer of security to your Mac and is considered a security best practice. We believe all users, including all developers, can benefit from using Privileges.

What’s new in version 2.0.0

Privileges now uses a unified expiration interval. So whether you request privileges using the application, the Dock Tile, or the command-line tool, they all have the same expiration interval, and administrator privileges expire after the time you configured.
Touch ID is now also available in the command line tool. This makes using it more convenient, even in environments with complex password requirements.
Administrator privileges can now be automatically revoked at login, so users can always be sure to start as a standard user.
An application or a script can be executed whenever privileges change. This allows you to create custom workflows that fit perfectly in your environment.
Privileges can now call a webhook whenever privileges change. This allows administrators to set up complex workflows and seamlessly integrate Privileges into their existing landscape.
AppleScript can now be used to get information about the status of the current user's privileges. Especially for scripts, this new feature makes it easier than ever to determine if a user has administrator privileges and when they expire.
Privileges now comes as a signed and notarized macOS installer package to make the deployment of the app easier than ever before.
Localized in 40 languages, to make it even more useful for a wider audience.
Stunning new app icon.
