# security\_authtrampoline(8)

Trampoline used by AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges from Security.framework.

## NAME

**security\_authtrampoline** – Trampoline used by AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges from Security.framework.

## SYNOPSIS

**security\_authtrampoline**

## DESCRIPTION

**security\_authtrampoline** is used when programs use AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges from Security.framework to run another program with root privileges.   The **security\_authtrampoline** command uses the authorization infrastructure to determine whether it should proceed. You should not run it by itself. Execution of other programs is logged with [syslog(3)](/syslog/3.md) to channel LOG\_AUTH at LOG\_NOTICE level.
