Use MacOS Privileges App from the Command Line
tech-note

In most places I've worked where I've had a MacBook, you can use the Privileges application to allow you to elevate your permissions to administrator for a set period of time. It's a great option, and works really well. Turns out you can also use it from the command line, which makes it much quicker to toggle.

# Check your current privileges:
/Applications/Privileges.app/Contents/Resources/PrivilegesCLI --status

# Enable admin:
/Applications/Privileges.app/Contents/Resources/PrivilegesCLI --add

# Disable admin:
/Applications/Privileges.app/Contents/Resources/PrivilegesCLI --remove
