You might be familiar with “Sudo” if you’ve used Linux-based Distro or Linux on a server or have a macOS. The Sudo command in Linux or macOS allows modifying system files, changing system settings, system-wide updates and more. The same command is now heading to Windows 11.

Is there a #sudo equivalent for Windows?
I do not mean "run as administrator", I want to remove all administrative permissions from a user, but allow him to run a given program with administrative rights without knowing the administrator's password.

How to Make sudo Remember the Password for Longer using Visudo

The behaviour of sudo is configured in /etc/sudoers file and by default timeout of the sudo command is 15 minutes.
The /etc/sudoers file has a timestamp_timeout option responsible for reprompting the user for password after specific amount of time. The good news is that you can increase this number to a larger one (in minutes) by adding a string in the /etc/sudoers file. After that time sudo will ask for password again.

Oh... I'm so deceived!
Finally I caught the file entry on /var/log/auth.log corresponding to an attempt of an unauthorized access of a non sudoer user, which as you now displays the following threatening message <user> is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
The 'report' part in the line is <date> ... <user> : user NOT in sudoers ; ... <command>
