Description

Please confirm these before moving forward.

  • I have searched for my feature proposal and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved/discarded issue.
  • This proposal is a completely new feature. If you want to suggest an improvement or an enhancement, please use this template.

Describe the new feature

When running a non elevated process that runs other processes that elevate, I would like to deny elevation for the child processes, and cache their details - e.g. full executable and command arg details, environment variables, so it can be rerun relatively safely.

Then preapprove these child processes for a one time elevation or mark the package as always needing admin, then rerun the non elevated process

Also see gerardog/gsudo#433

Describe how this new feature could help users

For installing and upgrading a lot of packages, this could flag if a package now requires admin rights when it didn't and also allow line by line UAC
