Your password required for other users sudo
#12
Then for that, you can open a terminal and type in "su [your username]."  You will be prompted for your password.  After being authenticated, you can operate as you would under your privileges.  When you're finished, you just type in the word "exit."


By the way, I did create a user called "test" without sudo privileges, and when I attempted to open Install/Remove Software, it asked for the password of my account.  So that seems to mimic Windows UAC.  Install/Remove Software would only ask for the password for "test", after I added "test" to the sudo group.
