Administrator rights required for rootkit scan

James Clark1

I'm running a full scan on a PC running Sophos Endpoint Security and Control version 10.6, managed by Sophos Enterprise Console.  I get the error 'Administrator rights required for rootlet scan'.  As this endpoints is managed by the SEC, how can I enable a service account with adequate privileges to run this scan?

    Hello James Clark1,

    I see ... a non-admin running Scan my computer will get this error. A user-initiated scan (this applies to on-access as well) runs in the user's security context.
    Why do you want that a local (non-admin) user can scan for rootkits - or is it just the error that could confuse users?
