Problem
In Windows 7 you can start applications with admin rights and you can also run them as a different user. Is there a similar feature in Mac OS X? I have sort of a special application that needs adminstrator rights, but I don't want to be logged in to the admin account.

Fix for: Run applications as another user in Mac OS X
Low Risk
Type su "account-name" at the terminal. It will then ask you the password for that account and let you run commands as that user. Third party GUI solutions include Peek-O-Matic and Joseph Beeson's Run As.
