@nicholas_ru
Did you even try it?? Debian man page https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/coreutils/chmod.1.en.htmlEach MODE is of the form
'[ugoa]*([-+=]([rwxXst]*|[ugo]))+|[-+=][0-7]+'.How else would you setuid under Debian? No point my suggesting things if they do work but you say they do not.

If you mean @Joe-von-Habsburg 's
QString command = QString("echo %1 | sudo -S %2").arg(1234).arg("ifconfig")it won't work as written if passed toQProcess::start().... But I am getting a bit dispirited trying to help you so up to you. -

To be clear: it is the OP I am getting "dispirited" trying to help, not your posts! :)
He could use your code approach (perhaps, if that is what he wants), just that it needs changing to work. But since we (at least I) don't even know exactly what he wants I have not corrected it so far, waiting to see.....

@JonB i am think in Qt framework must be integrated this is function.
@nicholas_ru No idea what you mean. You have plenty of answers & suggestions above, so over to you to do something....

@JonB if QProcess running with root true, if without false.
@nicholas_ru
Again, I don't know what that phrase means. You might trying typing in your questions/answers with full detail in your native language into Google and asking it to translate to English, that may give a more meaningful question.We have explained what the possibilities are for running programs under Linux setuid/as root. You have to pick one. You have to try the suggestions you have been given. I don't even believe what you said about
chmod u+snot being available under your Debian. Qt as a framework has nothing to say or do about setuid.QProcesscan be used to run other programs in the standard Linuxexec-type way. Just because you say "i am think in Qt framework must be integrated this is function." does not make it so there is magically something else in Qt we have not discussed.At this point I don't think anybody here knows what you actually want, what your problem is or what you have tried from the suggestions.

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.

@nicholas_ru
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?
