Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is executed by an information handling system comprising computer hardware. The method includes monitoring a desktop environment of a user for a desktop-administration event. The method further includes, responsive to a detected occurrence of the desktop-administration event, identifying at least one script-execution process to invoke. The at least one script-execution process executes at least one privilege-agnostic desktop-administration script. The method also includes determining whether the at least one script-execution process is designated for privilege elevation. Moreover, the method includes, responsive to a determination that the at least one script-execution process is designated for privilege elevation, injecting a security token of the at least one script-execution process with elevated privileges to yield a privilege-injected script-execution process. Also, the method includes invoking the privilege-injected script-execution process in the desktop environment so that the desktop-administration script executes as the user with the elevated privileges.
