set mimic back to SuperUser

[red031000]

mimic is an extremely powerful command, allowing the user to send a command as any other user, as such it should only be accessable to those who are most trusted, which is the superuser group

The mimic command only allows you to mimic users of equal or lower rank. So I'm not sure it needs to be SuperUser.

[red031000]

while that is true, it is still a very powerful command that is (potentially) open to abuse, and imo should be for the most trusted group only to mitigate that risk

[samfundev]

Could you explain what abuse you think could happen using this command? I can't think of any abuse that would be unique to the mimic command.

[red031000]

while it is true users are restricted to lower or the same access level and abuse of powers can't really happen, I can see mis-attribution of commands happening, with commands running through mimic processed exactly as if another user has run them. when I programmed mimic years ago, it was intended to be used mainly for testing commands as another user

[samfundev]

You can't misattribute who ran a command using mimic. Since the mimic command itself is logged, so you could prove that the mimic command was used on you.

I suppose that is true, I still would like it to be SuperUser however, as that was the original intention
