For whatever program you are trying to execute, right click it and see if there is a choice to Run as Administrator.

It means what it says - you have to run as admin or a similar user with sufficient user privileges.

Premiere Pro Downloading error: Administrative privileges required?

I am trying to download Premiere Pro onto my laptop. The download goes for a while with "updating Adobe Application Manager." Then I get an error message that says "We've encountered the following issue: Administrator privileges are required to continue with the installation." I am the only user on my computer. How do I fix this so the installation will complete?

right click the installation file>click 'run as administrator'.

Why are administrator privileges required to log out of Creative Cloud?

Hi,
we are using Creative Cloud for Teams on managed Mac OS X-Clients, which means our users are working on standard user accounts and have no administrator privileges. They are able to sign-in to Creative Cloud with their Adobe ID without problem, but logging off is a different story: its impossible to log out of CC without administrator privileges.
Any informations regarding this issue?
Thanks!

Hi Abhijit,
CC was distributed to the client computers with CC Packager, where it's recommended NOT to distribute the CC Desktop app if the user has no admin privileges.
I gave it a try anyway and installed a package including CC Desktop, but it didn't help. When trying to sign out of CC, the user gets an error message, see following screenshot (it's in german, sorry).
Thanks for your help,

Administrator Privileges required - can't install PocketMac

I can't get around this issue. Honestly, I could never really sync my BB Storm to my PPC Mac. Now, after upgrading to Leopard, I get this error:
"The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access privileges."
I AM the administrator. I've repaired permissions. Don't know where else to go.

Please help
Can you tell me what version of Mac OS X you have and happened when you tried to install PocketMac? I've installed it, but it's not that useful. Rumor has it they are releasing BlackBerry Desktop for the Mac on Friday. I don't know if that's true--I signed up for updates weeks ago but haven't heard a word yet--but that's what other people here have told me.
Entourage is
a) an original HBO series
b) a mail program from the Micro$oft evil empire
I watched "a" for the first time last week. It wasn't bad, but I don't know what all the fuss is.
So far I have managed to lead a relatively full and productive life without ever using "b" (even though it is installed on my computer because I had to get M$ Awffice for work). Don't ever let anybody tell you you need it.
AFAIK the only way to get it is to go out and buy M$ Awffice, and if you get the le$$ expen$ive "Home and Student Edition," you get a stripped down version of Entourage that M$ Exchange servers won't even talk to and doesn't support Web services. The full version of Awffice will set you back $399.95 (list). Trust me. You can live without it.

Issues with some apps requiring administrative privileges after installing Mavericks

Hi everyone. After updating to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have experienced the following inconveniences.
1) Dropbox keeps asking for my administrative password at every boot.
Quite annoying. Reinstalling the app didn't solve the issue. Instead, Finder integration seems now gone.
2) VirtualBox won't start.
The error message is "Effective UID is not root (euid=217 egid=20 uid=501 gid=20) (rc=-10). Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.".
Needless to say that uninstalling the app with the script and reinstalling it didn't solve anything.
3) XQuartz is also gone.
It keeps popping out with this error message: "The application X11 could not be opened. An error occurred while starting the X11 server: "Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running. Click Quit to quit X11. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.".
If I hit "Quit", the message comes out after some seconds. I used XQuatz to run Inkscape, which I have now replaced with iDraw, but the issue is still annoying.
As far as I understand, the problem seems related with administrative privileges required by the apps. On my two other Macs (Mac Mini and iMac) things are fine, so I assume that somehow maybe some system files are messed up on the MBP. I ran a permission repair but it was useless. I searched the forums but it seems that nobody is experiencing the same troubles. I hope someone here may help me solve these issues without a fresh install. Any ideas?

I think this may now well be a keychains issue.

My account is an administrator account, but now when I run the systemsetup command, I get the following error:

Hmmm... I'm probably a bit experienced, but the Time/Date setting looks okay to me? Matches the time on my iPhone. Should I be looking at something else?

This is Tom. I'm logged in as local administrator to Windows 7 64bit OS and everytime I tried to install CS5.5 Master I kept getting this message, "Administrator privilege are required to install". Do you have any suggestion? I can install any program but just not CS5.5.

Because administrative priviliges are required? We can't know anything because you haven't provided any relevant info. We don't know what program you are referriung to or what system as well as whether or not you are actualyl operating under a user account with sufficient user privileges...

Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer.

We have a simple runbook that runs an .exe program local on a remote server.
When I run the runbook within the Runbook Designer and the Runbook Tester it runs succesfully.
When I run the runbook within the Orchestration Console (http://server4:82) I get the error message "Access is denied. Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer."
Orchestrator hierarchy:
server1 Management Server
server2 Runbook Designer
server3 Runbook Server
server4 Web Server

Already solved it!
Even after making the Service Account a Domain Admin it didn't work after restarting the two services on server1. But I forgot the service on server3! Apparently when you use the Web Server it runs the runbook through the Runbook Server and when you
use Runbook Designer it runs locally within the Runbook Tester?

How can IT departments set up basic users to run Captivate with Administrator privileges?

As we all know, on WinVista and Win7 or later systems Adobe Captivate must be launched with Run As Administrator privileges in order to function correctly and not crash. But the problem here is that in many corporate environments general users are not allowed to have Administrator access to their own work PCs. This presents something of a dilemma for IT departments with Adobe Captivate users.
Some time ago on this forum one of the Adobe technical staff chimed in on a thread about the Run As Administrator command and explained the technical steps required to set up a Group Policy in WinVista/Win7 that would allow a basic user to always launch Captivate with the necessary admin privileges even though they did NOT have Administrator access to any other app on their PC.
I have searched in vain to find that particular thread and post, so I've started this thread in the hope that someone at Adobe can again chime in to detail the necessary steps again.
So is there anyone there that can help out?

DOH! my bad.....I/we run WinXP at present and no UAC.
However, all may not be lost, try some of these options as posted on teh MS Technet forums....An admin person may need t do this first to enable this for that user...
Apologies for misundeerstand situation. ;-( hate it when that happens!

Error installing software - administrator privileges

I'm trying to install software via Adobe Application Manager using my creative cloud subscritpion but i'm always getting errors.
The first time i installed things were fine, i was downloading photoshop but i had to reboot my mac and that's when i started having the error "administrator privileges are required to install. please retry or cancel to install later." for all the prpduct lines of software, even after inserting my mac administrator login.
after chceking different options nothing seems to solve the problem http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/general-installation-troubleshooting-cs5-cs5.html
- logging in with a different user (with administrator privileges)
- enabling a root user
- installing adobe support advisor (does not detect any errors). i have manually checked the logs but there are no logs registered at all for this errors.
- i have even downloaded again the adobe app manager software again but i can't seem to locate where the previous file is (the utilities folder with the folder for this app does not contain the program itself or the unisntaller, just a bunch of different stuff), so i think that the new file does not really install a new version of the adobe manager
i'm really desperate here. have so much work to do today and no solutions. Any ideas?
MAC OSXLion v10.8.2

seems that i solved the problem:
i found a post with a similar problem and they referred to an updated application manager file. the link was only for windows but i searched and installed this one http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4774&fileID=4438 and i can donwnload programs again
it seems that it's different from the file that i downloaded yesterday from adobe creative cloud user page https://creative.adobe.com that is older
