Run as administrator, run under system account, as service or as different user.

RunAsRob is not only a Runas with password command, it offers four fundamentally different methods of login options to run a program with other user rights.

Each option of RunAsRob can execute a selected program with advanced rights and has its advantages and disadvantages.

1. For an installation, task, system command or a script which need highest privileges,
   use the part >> run as admin << with the login option >> as system << (1).
   An account without a user profile, but with the most rights on a local machine. More rights than an administrator account, with access to each system or profile folder and so much privileges, that you can bypass the UAC Dialog.
2. For software you need the environment of the user like network drives, printers, application settings,...
   should be use the part >> run as admin << with login option >> as administrator << (2).
3. Monitoring, copy jobs, file updates and each other task you want to execute after start of windows with highest privileges,
   whether a user logs in or not, can use the part run as >> service << (3).
4. If you want to run a program with the rights of another user account or
   if you need to transfer certain rights of one application to another computer, on which RunAsRob isn't installed,
   take the option >> run as another user << (4).
   Run as another user is portable and need no installation, because it comes with an encrypted file you store the credentials for the selected application.

Another benefit of RunAsRob is the possibility to authorize a complete folder from where you can start a program with administrator privileges.

Spectrum of possibilities

• Authorize program files or folders, which can used from a limited user to run software as administrator.
• Distribute software, updates, patches, drivers,... by simply copying the update file on a network share you have authorized in RunAsRob and user can run it as admin from there.
• Give only a specific program administrator rights instead of a whole user account.
• Delegate administrative tasks to users by authorizing the specific job.
• Manage all allowed application files, folders and directories in a domain central by group policies, organisational units and ntfs folder rights. RunAsRob harmonised well with it.
• Bypass UAC for a script or an application.
• A script and a program can run as system account via RunAsRob, a system account has more system privileges than an administrator.
• Run application as admin with the own profile and setting of the limitied user account.
  In other runas utilities it is just possible to run as administrator by using another account.
• Wildcard asterisk * and environment variable like %windir% are possible to authorize a relative directory or program path.
• You need not credentials of an admin account in an encrypted file or elsewhere.
  The authorization and login information are controlled by registry, folder permissions and a system service.
• Run as service an application or a script with system privileges after system boot, if a user is logged in or not.
• RunAsRob can effective and easy used on a local client, in a small windows network or in a large domain environment, because its clearly designed.

RunAsRob contains three parts with four options:
