Running application with user privillegions.
-
There is a reason why you can't just run anything with root privileges. And under normal circumstance you should not try to circumvent it. The most important question is if you really need to run something as root (while your own software is not started with root privileges). Qt does not provide anything special to run a process as root. You need to use OS functionality to run an elevated process (you can use QProcess to start sudo or use any of the other methods mentioned before). In the case of sudo it is up to you to ask the user for the password and hand it to sudo. But, even this is a bad idea because it is really easy to leak the password for an attacker.
-
No,no attacker not recieve permissions, but idea not bad. I love Qt and this function for me needed for devleopment, because user also must be entering password.

We have given you the alternative approaches for running setuid. Qt itself is not going to add anything in this area. -
Well then my development will be limited and I'll have to look for other ways to implement it.

@nicholas_ru
Gave you the 3 ways to implement it above in https://forum.qt.io/post/837390. Don't know what other ways you want or need, don't know why you don't pursue these. You seem to ask the question but not prepared to follow the suggestions. Up to you. -

@nicholas_ru Since you used GParted as an example, use the same technique they use.

Nice to know :)
*.in.infile?!
So a file template for a file template for an actual file? :D@Pl45m4 said in Running application with user privillegions.:

I think he wants to run a process with administrative privileges by showing a UAC (User Account Control) dialog. This is what, for example, balenaEtcher does when it needs to burn a drive. Is this correct?

Torvalds allowed Rust into the kernel (2022) but not C++.
Grandpa is doing his own thing and I stopped questioning stuff.

Linus Torvalds hate C++ because it dificult and not t easy.Not UAC, read up, Linux.It so for me, i liked, Unixpled

Don't know what you're saying, but the ability to set or change user privilege has nothing to do with C++ and really little to do with programming.

It's talk about them, that code must be easy, and user permissions change must be flug also easy.

If changing user permissions were that easy, it would defeat its purpose.
-
It must easy for developers and users.
