Super User run (SuRun) 1.2

Super User run (SuRun) by Kay Bruns (kay-bruns.de) is a lightweight privilege‑elevation utility for Windows that brings a sudo‑style workflow to the desktop. It’s designed to let you work as a standard user and grant administrative rights only when they’re needed, helping you follow the principle of least privilege and reduce the risk of system‑wide changes or malware damage. SuRun integrates directly with Windows Explorer and the Start menu, providing simple elevation prompts and right‑click options so you can run specific programs with administrator privileges without switching accounts.

Key capabilities:

• Sudo‑like elevation for Windows: run day‑to‑day as a limited user and elevate tasks on demand.
• Explorer integration: add “Run as administrator” options to context menus, shortcuts, and the Start menu.
• Fine‑grained control: define which applications may run elevated and which users are allowed to elevate them.
• Group‑based access: manage authorization via a SuRun users group instead of sharing admin credentials.
• Elevation service: starts elevated processes securely without exposing administrator passwords.
• Activity awareness: prompts clearly when a process requests administrative rights.

SuRun was originally created for legacy Windows versions that lacked modern UAC, but its streamlined workflow can still be useful wherever a controlled, least‑privilege setup is desired.
