[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 745723, member: 32260"] That is why [B][COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]SUA[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)] [B]is more secure[/B][/COLOR] than [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]Admin Account (SPLIT-TOKEN ADMINISTRATOR)[/B][/COLOR]. On [COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)][B]SUA[/B][/COLOR], the process elevation ([COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)][B]Over-The-Shoulder elevation[/B][/COLOR]) requires logging on to another account ([COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]Admin Account[/B][/COLOR]), so the user is prompted by UAC to [COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)][B]write the admin password[/B][/COLOR]. If the user does not write the password the elevation fails. Furthermore, the UAC can be set to block elevation of unsigned programs (forced on all accounts) or block elevation of all programs on SUA (<Disable Elevation on SUA > in Hard_Configurator). On [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]Admin Account[/B][/COLOR], the process elevation does not require another account, so normally the user can see the UAC prompt, but the [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]password is not required[/B][/COLOR]. Furthermore, the programs signed by Microsoft can silently [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]auto-elevate on [/B][/COLOR][B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]Admin Account (no UAC prompt). This [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)][B]is not possible on SUA[/B][/COLOR][B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)].[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
