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.

    I guess the easiest way is to check the scan log, which I believe logs files it is unable to open.  If there are no errors, then you've likely scanned them all.

    Of course, with fast user switching, it's trivial to log in as an admin user while you're still logged in in your other account... that method is preferable to the task.
