Raise My Rights

Raise My Rights is a Windows application designed to give access to non-administrative PC users for running various programs as admins or other users.

It enables them to create app shortcuts on the desktop. The utility uses the AES 256-bit (Rijndael) security algorithm with salt, which means that the applications' hashes are stored, in order to prevent their launch if tampered. It's compatible only with 32-bit Windows.

Setting up this tool takes minimal time and effort, and the only notable aspect about it is that it requires .NET Framework. As far as the interface is concerned, it adopts a small window with a neatly organized structure, which shows all options available.

It's necessary to specify the PC user name, domain and password, along with the program to apply these settings for. The application in questioned can be taken into account by indicating its executable file, whether you're using a file browser or typing its full path in the dedicated box.

Moreover, Raise My Rights can be instructed to load the user profile from the registry. Apart from the fact that you can check for software updates as well as consult a help manual, there are no other noteworthy settings.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or display error dialogs. CPU and RAM usage was low, so it didn't hamper system resources.

On the other hand, Raise My Rights doesn't extend support for 64-bit Windows. We are also keeping is mind that it hasn't been updated for a long time. Otherwise, it gets the job done and can be easily used by all types of users, even the less experienced ones.
