Why is admin privilidge even a thing? Ask for the god damn specific resource you want access to and I'll answer yes or no!


"Admin"'s identity is the resource you're asking permissions to use. If don't want identities, are you going to manually authorize every file that needs to be interacted with? For a recursive delete of thousands of files?


You would authorize deletion in a specific directory.


Is that the shiny new capabilities based future that never arrives?
