Rather than requiring you to enter admin credentials every time you want to run a task or make changes to a task, CCC only requires users with administrative privileges to authenticate once when CCC is initially installed. While this configuration is easier to use, there are situations where this configuration is not appropriate. If you leave your system unattended with an admin user logged in, someone with physical access to your system can modify or run your CCC backup tasks. If you cannot rely upon the physical security of your Mac to prevent someone from using your Mac, you can adjust CCC's security settings in the Advanced section of CCC's Settings window.
