Sophos makes me log into the Admin profile to scan entire drive

Macfan

I am both the Admin and seperate user (under different profile) on my mac mini.  I tried to scan the local drive logged in as a user.  Sophos said that I had to log in as the Admin to scan the entire drive.  I don't have a problem with requiring Admin authorisation but why not ask for Admin authorisation right then and their so I don't have to log out and then re-log in as Admin.  Other programs allow this all the time.  Would make the experience more streamlined and easier.

    Thanks.  I've run it as a custom scan and it didn't give me any message about needing to be logged in as the admin to scan the full disk.  However, I can't tell if it is scanning the full disk as I don't know the number of files across the whole disk.  Is there an easy way to tell if the custom scan is accessing all parts of the disk by looking at the logs?
