You can't really upgrade an already running process's privilege
level. What I'd suggest is make a small launcher program that the
user opens. This would ask for the admin password and then launch
your main application using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges and
friends.

Hi,
I wish to access disk sectors using open() and pread(). but it fails
for the system disk.
So how can I get the user to type in admin passwd and then run my
app in privileged mode.
Please point me to any sample code etc.
I tried ""BetterAuthorizationSample" code from apple, but using it
to access disk sectors is 10 times slower then open() and pread(),
cause it installs a helper tool in the system and to get sectors
from it is slow.
