RunAs

Enum RunAs 

Source
pub enum RunAs {
    System,
    User,
    SystemGui,
}
Expand description

Token + session combination the agent uses to spawn a job’s child process. Two orthogonal axes — whose privileges and which session — collapse into three meaningful combinations:

variantsessionprivilegesGUI
System (default)Session 0 (services)LocalSystem❌
Useractive console sessionlogged-in user (UAC-filtered when admin)✅
SystemGuiactive console sessionLocalSystem✅

SystemGui is the “PsExec -i -s” pattern: the agent duplicates its own SYSTEM token and rewrites TokenSessionId to the user’s console session, then launches with that hybrid token — useful when an installer needs admin power and needs the user to see its UI.

On macOS, LocalSystem is root and the console session is the GUI bootstrap of the user who owns /dev/console, joined via launchctl asuser; User runs as that user with a fresh environment. On both OSes User / SystemGui fail — the script does not run — when nobody is logged in. Linux agents skip User / SystemGui jobs.

Variants§

§

System

LocalSystem privileges in Session 0. No GUI. Historical default — every pre-v0.21 job ran this way.

§

User

The currently-logged-in console user’s identity, in their session. Can write HKCU / %APPDATA% (macOS: ~/Library, the login Keychain) / show GUI to the user. Privileges are whatever the user has (Windows admin users get the UAC-filtered limited token, not the elevated one).

§

SystemGui

LocalSystem (macOS: root) privileges in the user’s session — admin power with GUI visibility. Niche but real (force-restart dialogs, admin installers with progress UI).
