Security Conundrum: Is there a way to run an app on lower rights?

Post by *Starf0x »

Hi,

Here it is, my employer has Office 365, and this runs only under my normal account.
But of course my admin account has no office 365 license and is not able to open office documents.
Is there a way to (based on extensions) run an app on lower rights, e.g. my normal account from the mentioned Tcmd.
Something like runas but based on extensions.

Cheers, Starf0x

Try to configure Internal Associations mimics system wide associations with small additions - prepend commands with RUNAS and appropiate options.

That is system wide, I hoped there would be something possible from within TCMD.

Internal associations are NOT system-wide, they are for Total Commander only.
Menu files - Internal associations.
