How to call a admin account for gksudo in a limited account?

[masternetra]

I was wondering how do I call a admin account for gksudo/sudo work while in a limited account.
I thought it was; gksudo -u "adminuser" gksudo "command" ,but that doesn't work, keeps asking for the limited accounts pass instead of the targeted admin. I know it can be done. I just forgot the exact command. Tried replacing gksudo with gksu and same mistake.

what you are looking for is something like the following

Code: Select all

su <priv user> -c "gksudo <command>"

For example I tested this out

Code: Select all

test@localhost $ su coder -c "gksudo nautilus"

Which brought up a root version of nautilus
