You've got to be kidding me. The first link leads to an article titled
"Introduction to Performing Privileged Operations With Authorization
Services". Chapter 3 has step by step instructions - if you want to do
this, read that, etc.
How much more obvious do you want it? Did you expect fla****ng neon GIFs
with blinking arrows saying "SM Ryan, look here"?

I must have missed the "reverse psychology" lecture in Trolling 101 - is
this the part where I'm supposed to write your code for you just to prove
to that I can?

I wasn't trying to be a smart aleck, I was trying to point you to the docs
that will answer your question, and encourage you to look there first in
the
future. Better for you, better for the group. Teaching you to fish instead
of giving you a fish, and all that.
But you're right about one thing - trying to help someone who doesn't want
to be helped is certainly a waste of time.
