So in that case it seems like there is perhaps an issue on both sides. - I understand that the OS API to get root/admin privileges likely exists for legacy app install reasons, but why should any install script even be able to run amok with admin privileges? Shouldn't privileges granted by this API this is using be sandboxed in the extreme? Something this sensitive shouldn't be left to the honor system of the app developer. - Independently, I still don't understand why Zoom needs admin privs on Mac when it clearly doesn't need them when installed as a browser extension. I'm using it just fine in Chrome all the time - no admin rights needed.
