Remove all admin->root authorization prompts from OSX

To:  Apple Community

It is apparently common knowledge that when operating under Apple's OSX platform any user with admin privileges already has root access. The public feels that even without putting in a password anyone in the admin group is already the equivalent of root.

In efforts to minimize the apparently unnecessary dialog boxes that ask for permission to go from gid=admin to uid=root we are hereby petitioning Apple to remove any further use of dialog boxes when making the transition from gid=0 to uid=0. Since the admin group is ALREADY root why can't you just stop asking us for authorization?

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
