PowerShell Empire is not run as root or require authentication to run when clicked on from the graphical tools menu. However, PowerShell Empire requires root privileges to run, even to print the help description, which is the default behavior when it is started from the graphical tools menu. When PowerShell Empire is run from the graphical tools menu, instead of printing the help description, it exits with an error of "Error: /usr/bin/powershell-empire must be run as root." For PowerShell Empire to be run correctly, it should require root privileges to run like other tools such as Social Engineering Toolkit and should have "(root)" next to its name to indicate its root privilege requirements.
