Bug Description

It would be nice to see a way to quickly login as an administrator in the File Manager window so I can move/delete/edit/rename files instead of getting all the permission denied messages due to forgetting to scroll my mouse down to the plank, right clicking on Files, and choosing the New Window As An Administrator option to login. For some reason this is apparently the only way to login into pantheon-files in Elementary OS to do administrative tasks. I feel this is a really important feature that needs to be implemented to make Elementary OS faster.
