sudo-for-windows's Issues

Windows 11 normal user problem

Windows 11 "normal user" / "standard user" has been tested?
I could not make it run with Windows 11 normal user..
Super user in Server 2019 and Windows 11 ( default user tested ) successfully.

What can be blocking normal user with Windows 11 to reach the SudoService.exe ?

More control over sudo

Can sudo configuration for allowing non-administrator accounts to elevate be added and also that for specific user we can set that password prompt will be disabled (only administrator should be able to set those settings for security reasons so that standard user itself cannot set those settings nor allow anything if administrator didn't mentioned that user in Registry first where only admins can write and change ownership of that sudo configuration directory in Registry)

To get this possible, the SudoService should work just like Sudo for Windows works. They are using some driver method to make a gate between already elevated process and non-elevated process to interact with. For example, while launching non-elevated sudo.exe provided by Microsoft, in the same time it will launch sudo.exe that have administrator privileges and give elevated console access to non-elevated console if UAC prompt responds with Yes (they added that requirement but it's not actualy required - they just added it because they don't want UAC to be bypassed due to their executable are able to elevate without UAC)
