## How it helps

Installs and settings that need admin rights no longer end the session. The customer stays in control of the prompt.

## What it does

Status: **Available** · For technicians · Sessions: Support · Computers: Windows · Plan: Included in Blink Core and Blink Pro

On Windows, Run as admin relaunches Blink with administrator rights, either with admin credentials or with the Windows prompt. The customer always clicks Yes. Credentials are encrypted for the customer’s computer before they leave the browser, used once and never stored. Afterwards the technician can handle admin prompts and open an administrator terminal.
