Admin rights for specific programs

[jayctech]

I'm looking to give administrator rights to another account on my computer but specifically for 1 (or more) applications. E.g. Cmd (only my example because it's the first program that came to mind that benefits from admin rights). Is this even possible?

OS is win 8.1.

Im not sure how to do it permanently, But starting it as admin and writing in your user and password will make it run as admin, But only until it is shut down.

Ty but not what I'm looking for - I'd want the account to be able to access the program with its own credentials but not have entitlement to the admin features of any other programs (which is what granting the account full admin perms would do).

Properties > Compatibility > change settings for all users.

 

I have not tried this, it may still require the user to enter a password to run the program.

 

EDIT: This doesn't work for CMD, CMD doesn't allow any settings to be changed in that tab, I think it only works programs that don't come with the OS.

 

Images here.

EDIT: Just right click on the application executable and go to properties.

Select change settings for all users.

Select "Run this program as admin" and apply.

CMD wasn't an issue really but programs with the OS might.

I haven't poked around all that much to confirm this, but I think that as long as you don't need to do this for something like the file explorer it should be doable. Things like IE will surely allow for this...

Also check my previous post again.

I meant it not being possible for CMD wasn't an issue. As I say in OP CMD was just the first program to come to mind that benefits from admin rights which is why I mention it.

You can define a software restriction policy using Microsoft's AppLocker.  The benefit is that it's built into Windows 7 and beyond.  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831409.aspx
