Admin rights

[alixmccart]

So, in our lansweeper setup, we have it set so that we have to log in to the web console with our individual administrative active directory accounts. i would like to be able to launch asset actions as the currently logged in account.

example:

bob is signed into his computer as domain\userbob
bob has an administrative account
logs into lansweeper as domain\adminbob

goes to an asset page.
clicks on "Computer management" action.
Computer management for that asset opens as user domain\adminbob



by default, computer management opens up as domain\userbob.


is there a variable i need to plug into the action path?

mindful we have multiple people that have admin accounts that access lansweeper, and for auditing and logging purposes, we would like it if it launched as their admin account.

You can run actions as a different user using either of these methods:

1. Browser

The first method, which we actually recommend in your case, will allow you to run actions as a different user directly from the browser. Below are instructions on how to do so.

- Open your browser by SHIFT+right-clicking on the browser shortcut.
- Select "Run as different user" and enter login/password combination.

2. The runas.exe command

Another method consists of adding the runas.exe command to your action path under Configuration\Asset Pages. You can find an example of how to use runas.exe in combination with an action in this forum topic.
