RRH Registered Member Posts 137 Karma 0 OS	Performing actions as root Mon Nov 01, 2010 8:45 pm So can anyone tell me how it's implemented? I asked here (brainstorm.php?mode=idea&i=39250&page=1&c=154412#anchormain) but still can't see it in KDE 4.5.

TheBlackCat Registered Member Posts 2945 Karma 8 OS	Performing actions as root Fri Jan 28, 2011 5:36 pm Yes, the backend has been implemented, but now they need to actually implement the functionality in applications. I think this was intended for 4.6 but there wasn't enough time, so it was pushed back probably to 4.7. It is still in the works, though.

frasty Registered Member Posts 125 Karma 0 OS	Performing actions as root Fri Jan 28, 2011 6:22 pm These are good news. Hope there'll be some functionality in the 4.6.x series Fedora 32 Plasma 5.19.2

I'm missing a function where i can easily perform an action with root privileges. E.g. I'm browsing through the filesystem with dolpin or konqueror and try to edit/delete/copy/... a file, where I need root privileges for. But since I'm logged in as user, I have to start a new application instance as root or use konsole and sudo. I would like to see a function to switch quickly to something like a "root mode" (and back to "user mode"). This could be done with a toolbar button "root mode". When clicked, it asks for the root password and the next actions will be done as root. Another click on the toolbar button leaves the "root mode". I like this idea about switching to root in an easy way.
