I have logged into the admin account using Terminal and attempted to launch Console.app with the following command...
$ open /Applications/Utilities/Console.app
However, this yields the following error...
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/Utilities/Console.app.
Is there any way for me to open Console.app as the admin from a non-admin account?

In Windows 7 you can start applications with admin rights and you can also run them as a different user. Is there a similar feature in Mac OS X? I have sort of a special application that needs adminstrator rights, but I don't want to be logged in to the admin account. Nov 26, 2019 To run a task as an administrator is, clearly, only useful if you're not already an admin user. If you're logged in to Windows as a regular, standard user, you can choose to open something as a different user that does have administrative rights so that you can avoid having to log out and then log back in as the administrator only to perform. That will always launch it as an administrator, and you will get the UAC prompt every time you start. If you just want to run as admin every once and awhile, then right-click and choose Run as administrator. EDIT - still not clear if you are trying to do this for your dev tools, or if you want your installed app to run this way.
