Is there a way to give a standard user the ability to run task manager as a admin without allowing the user to run anything else as an admin?(Right now, I have to run command prompt with admin privileges,enter the admin password in the window that pops up and then type in taskmgr to run task manager as admin. Is there a way to shorten this process?)
I will edit this if I must, but I am a little busy sometimes so I won't be able to make this question more clear very quickly. (Within 24 hours I will have to to edit the question.) – John – 2015-08-17T12:58:29.280
Short answer. No. If they can run Task Manager as Admin, they can launch ANY TASK as admin. :) If you're annoyed by those prompts, why not turn down UAC's prompting? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2015-08-17T12:58:48.303
I just want to give the standard user a few rights, such as running task manager as admin, but nothing else, is that impossible? – John – 2015-08-17T13:19:09.007
They should be able to start Task Manager without a prompt, they just won't be able to see or interact with any processes other than their own. To do that, they'd need system administrator rights. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2015-08-17T13:27:25.013
I would want to let standard users start task manager with admin rights but nothing else with admin rights. – John – 2015-08-17T13:37:38.673
@John You want to let standard users just start task manager and handle their own processes, not granting full admin rights, like Windows 7? If so
set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER&& start "" taskmgr
might work. – Gustavo Rodrigues – 2020-02-06T01:41:11.920
