In *nix O/S's the root user can actually switch to a user's account AS
IF they WERE that user.
This allows admin to test criteria AS THAT USER.
Can this be done with windows????

You can use the 'runas' command and open cmd.exe. All programs executed
from this new prompt will be restricted
Tx for your reply -
I should have been more specific -
I DO NOT know the user's password.
As administrator - I SHOULD NOT NEED to know it - but I don't see how I
can run something as another user without knowing their password.
I mentioned unix because in unix you authenticate AS "administrator"
(root), and then - you can become any user you want - WITHOUT knowing
their password.
