Well, sorry for my ignorance:

- Does it mean the user has to quit the session and to log to a new one
  as an administrator?
- Or is it possible, in a non-administrative user session, to launch
  a terminal as an administrator?
- Or is it possible, in a non-administrative user session and in
  a terminal open as an non-administrative user, to switch as an
  administrative user (sort of `su` in Linux context)?

Thanks!
