AnyDesk has option to provide credentials to run its client with. I did some googling and looks like CreateProcessWithLogonW might be the function that it's using under the hood.

In teamviewer when asked for id and password you can insert windows credential instead.
those credential are passed from the client to the remote machine server that once receive them restart itself with those credential.

Yes, would be a very cool feature for the RustDesk portable version.

Hi,
Same issue here. It makes it useless when the remote user is not admin.
So it would be a nice feature for Rustdesk.
Thanks in advance.

They are doing it in the way @schleyk said.

From the client you can choose to authenticate with the "generic" password generated from the server or with "windows authentication" in this way who give support insert local admin credential and click on log on. After this teamviewer server restart it self and launching it self with the credential provided from the client (like a runas), at this point the client once connected to the server can see and interact with UAC.

Actually I just tested again, TeamviewerQS did request for UAC, that is probably why they are able to control all windows.
Perhaps RustDesk can do the same.

@bilogic TeamviewerQS ask yes/no when it restart it self after the client send the administrative credentials by TV authentication (see @schleyk message here: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/70#issuecomment-1172364732).

If you launch it from a limited user it don't request for UAC and in this case if you connect to it with "standard tv authentication" (id and tv password) you can't interact with UAC.

Supremo and PC Visit are able to pass the UAC while launched as standard User. PC Visit is even more advanced, as it is able to ask the remote User for credentials. Dont know how it is actually working, but I think:
"someone" entering administrative credentials
These are used to spawn a New process
UAC getting up for the remote User, but He doesnt have to input anything, just yes/no Dialog.
The New process is elevated.
Dont know if it is able to restart the rustdesk Session directly or of it is Necessary to create a Service first.

Hi @rustdesk - this is really great software and I agree that ability to control UAC is important. Even for portable version (only reason why Im using TeamViewer now :/).

If I start portable version using this command
PsExec64.exe -sid RustDesk.exe
Im able to control UAC with portable version.
PsExec is Microsoft tool to run process as SYSTEM.
So clearly it doesn't need to service be installed (portable version).

What's need to be implemented

manifest to need to be run as elevated https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/security/how-user-account-control-uac-affects-your-application?view=msvc-170
only elevated process (as admin will be able to ask for SYSTEM rights) - standard user process will not be able
in code impersonate to SYSTEM account when there is active connection for example using this sequence of API calls https://github.com/tobiohlala/ImpersonateSystem/blob/master/ImpersonateSystem.psm1

With TeamViewer / AnyDesk, the user also receives a UAC message which the person in front of the screen must confirm with "Yes" and TeamViewer / AnyDesk starts as admin.

Afterwards, it is possible to run applications as administrator and enter the password via remote control.

pop up something like this

account/password is sent to host and invoke CreateProcessWithLogonW to run portable service and elevate to wait for host user click yes (UAC) only.

Exactly the remote user once connected or before* sending rustdesk password send windows username and password (usually admin credentials of the host) and the remote host rustdesk restart it self with those credentials (if valid). At that point UAC is going to ask "yes or no" to the host. This is the best can be archived without installing rustdesk, and is how are working anydesk/teamviewer.

I can't remember is anydesk/teamviewer maintain those admin credential in cache during the session so the host can be remotely restarted and the remote user can re-connect without host's user interaction after the reboot.

*teamviewerqs works like this, after entering the host id it ask for password and you can chose to use the teamviewerqs' password or insert windows credential.

@rustdesk a few ideas on how to improve the UX of this feature:

Request elevation can be done at any time while I am connected to the host. (TeamViewer only allows me to do this when connected, which is very inconvenient.)
If a UAC window appears on the host, then RustDesk should detect this and offer a window requesting for elevation. (This is how AnyDesk can do it.)
If I want to transmit the administrator username and password, then I can choose from a list of predefined names. (I can do this in Zoho Assist, and it's handy since I can't get the computer name/domain and username wrong.)
When transmitting the username and password, if I entered the password incorrectly, then display a hint next to the password or popup, but then allow me to immediately re-enter the password. (AnyDesk closes the request elevation window, and every time I fail to enter a password, I have to re-do the request elevation, which is inconvenient.)

It would be great if you could implement these improvements in the future.

@rustdesk here the first screenshot is from Windows 7, and the second screenshot is from Windows 10 and newer. It is important that this window is called on the host, and not through the interface on the remote computer, so I do not know if it can be done at all in your case.

I don't know Terminal Session is the same (what @WhiteAls wrote about), but I would like to see a similar interface in RustDesk.

Any update on this? A Rustdesk-client-side button "request UAC" would be nice. One time the user would have to click YES on the UAC window on the host machine and after that we could click with elevated privilages? Now for example if I want to uninstall an app from appwiz remotely I have to ask te user to click through all buttons as I cannot click with Rustdesk. :(

@rustdesk was this feature removed due to the antivirus issues?
I understand that the client cannot interact with the UAC prompt directly, but from my understanding, @21pages made it so the portable client would send a prompt for escalation. That doesn't seem to be happening from what I've tested so far.
