Cache credentials for opening privileged files

[nathansobo]

From support/7a4d8dc0a22b11e3808daa7bcb445d7f

Also, the dialog says "authopen" requires permission. I believe you can use the -extauth param to authopen (in Mavericks) to ask for permission for "Atom"

We use https://github.com/atom/node-runas (written by @zcbenz) to trigger the permission dialog. I don't think it actually uses authopen anymore, it uses the deprecated AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges method.

Maybe I should reword the issue?

[probablycorey]

I think we could move the isueto node-runas requesting the ability to set what app needs that permission. So it would say "Atom" requires permission instead of "authopen".

Moved to atom-archive/node-runas#4
