Then add the package "Privilege" to your targets that require it.

Usage

First import the module:

import Privilege

To gain superuser permissions:

Privilege.escalate()
// Returns true if rights are extended successfully.

To de-escalate:

Privilege.deEscalate()
// Returns true if rights are dropped successfully.
