I tried modifying the AuthorizationItem to use kAuthorizationRuleAuthenticateAsSessionUser instead of kAuthorizationRightExecute.

My understanding is that this should only require the current user to enter their own credentials, and does not require that the user be an administrator. However, when I run it on a non-admin account, the login prompt that macOS displays requires administrator credentials.

I've read through the entire Authorization Services Programming Guide, and it seems like this is happening because it does not find the kAuthorizationRuleAuthenticateAsSessionUser rule, so falls-back on the default empty rule, which requires an administrator. But I've checked /var/db/auth.db and the rule is there.

Have you experienced this? Have you gotten SFAuthorizationView working with just the current user credentials (non-admin) before?

If you want to use a SFAuthorizationView in a project, be carefull to deactivate in the XIB inspector the option "Prefer coder" in the Runtime behavior section.

If you don't do it, the view won't appear in the app.

Had me baffled for a few hours while trying to follow the code and the tutorial video.

Thanks for the example
