It gives users temporary administrator privileges when needed without granting permanent admin rights. The application is built with simplicity, security, and transparency in mind. Users can set a timeframe in the application\u0027s settings to perform specific tasks, such as installing or removing an application.\n\nUsing a standard user account instead of an administrator account adds an extra layer of security to your Mac and is considered a security best practice. We believe that all users, including developers, can benefit from using _Privileges_.\n\n**The current version of _Privileges_ supports the following macOS versions:**\n\n* macOS 26.x\n* macOS 15.x\n* macOS 14.x\n* macOS 13.x (*)\n* macOS 12.x\n* macOS 11.x\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n\u003e[!NOTE]\n\u003e(*) Unfortunately, macOS 13 incorrectly reports a launch constraint violation and immediately terminates the application. Starting with version 2.2, we are therefore providing two versions of the application: one with launch constraints and one without. However, we recommend using the version with launch constraints whenever possible.\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n# Features\n\n\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Easy install\n\n\ud83d\ude80 Perfect for day-to-day use\n\n\ud83d\udedc Works completely offline - no internet connection required\n\n\u23f0 Turn on admin rights anytime\n\n\ud83d\udd10 Enjoy standard user security\n\n\ud83e\uddf0 Extensive MDM support for broad device and policy control\n\n\u2328\ufe0f Command line support\n\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\n## New Privileges 2 features\n\n\u26d4\ufe0f Revoke admin rights at login\n\n\u23f3 Unified expiration interval for administrator privileges\n\n\ud83d\udd01 Renew expiring administrator privileges at any time\n\n\ud83e\udeaa ",
