In an implementation of administrative security systems and methods, access to
administrative functions is controlled according to access privileges. A security
process can be executed with administrative privilege to initiate an administrative
function, and a user process can be executed with non-administrative privilege
such that access to the administrative function is restricted. The user process
can request initiation of the administrative function via the security process
with parameters that include an identification of the administrative function and
input arguments to the administrative function.
