Terminal in Resolve has no rights to do simple tasks like edit time or timezone

Question

Is there a way to have Terminal be an elevated user in either Powershell or Command Prompt?  As it is now, it is near useless sicne you cannot self elevate a command prompt or powershell.  This makes it rather difficult to do anything like changing a timezone or anything else requiring admin level permissions.

Hi @max4677

Just following up to see if this helped clarify the behavior you’re seeing. If you’re still running into issues, feel free to share the exact command and any error output, and we can pass this or any feedback along to the team for further review.

Hi @max4677 Nice to see you.

The Resolve Terminal already runs with elevated privileges under the Windows LocalSystem account, so this is not typically an administrator-rights/elevation issue.

However, LocalSystem is different from running commands as the currently logged-in user. Some commands or applications may behave differently if they depend on:

* the logged-in user’s profile or environment
* user-specific credentials or mapped drives
* interactive prompts/UI access
* resources that expect to run in the context of the active user session

Because of this, certain commands may still fail or behave unexpectedly even though the terminal itself is highly privileged.

Can share the exact command you’re trying to run and any error output you’re seeing?
