V2 How to require admin permissions

[git-sources]

Hello,
I've created a tauri V2 webview application opening a port for gprc communication and some UI controls in the webview.
Unfortunately it needs Administrator rights to start. Is there a way to setup the permissions so that it doesn't ask me all the time?
The app should run on Windows and Linux.

Thanks
Marc

For windows for you can do this #4201
For Linux, if you only ship .deb you could do this #7299 - for general approaches you afaik need to look into pkexec for example via https://crates.io/crates/karen

ok, thanks, I've added a manifest and required admin but this is not user friendly. Is there no way to copy it to "Program Files" and run it with special permissions but without admin needs?

the install location doesn't matter - if you use the .msi installer it'll be installed there as well.

you could do something like moving the privileged stuff into a second binary (this is recommended over having the whole app require admin anyway) and register that as a Service (iirc gui apps can't be registered).

with special permissions but without admin needs

what would those permissions be? i can only think about normal user and admin permissions - what do you require for your usecase?
