StartAs

StartAs is here to make life easier for users who don’t have admin rights but need to do some important tasks. So, what happens if you need to run something that requires elevated access? You usually have two choices. You could try using CMD commands, or you could ask the admin for help. But both of these options have their downsides, right? That’s where StartAs comes into play as a third option that might just be the best fit.

Easier Access Without Risk

The whole point of StartAs is to help nonprivileged accounts gain elevated access without putting the main account at risk. Using CMD can be pretty sketchy because when you enter those admin credentials, they get saved by your operating system without any encryption. This means anyone with a bit of computer know-how could potentially access sensitive info.

Encryption for Safety

With StartAs, though, things are different! The credentials are stored in an encrypted file, so you can get the access you need without jeopardizing your main account's security. Plus, it’s super handy because all of this starts with knowing the admin's credentials in the first place.

A Simple Process for Work Environments

This tool is especially useful in a work setting where sharing permissions make sense. Before diving into StartAs, you'll need to set up an encrypted file that holds those all-important admin credentials.

Create Your Access Plan

You’ll be adding the app you want to run with elevated rights and specifying how you'd like it launched. Don't forget to include the admin credentials and any extra features too! You can even set things like an expiration date or PIN confirmation for added security.

A Smart Solution for Elevated Rights

StartAs offers a smart alternative when you need higher rights to access files without logging into the admin account directly. It cuts down on privacy risks while allowing other users on the same machine to easily gain specific rights when working with certain apps and programs.
