Abstract

In an implementation of administrative security systems and methods, access to administrative functions is controlled according to access privileges. A security process can be executed with administrative privilege to initiate an administrative function, and a user process can be executed with non-administrative privilege such that access to the administrative function is restricted. The user process can request initiation of the administrative function via the security process with parameters that include an identification of the administrative function and input arguments to the administrative function.
