Multiple start-as user support for windows

What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

We want the possibility to run codex as a specific windows-user where we on a AD / user-level have restrictions of what codex is allowed to do and not to do. So we can run codex without restrictions within the app, and be sure that it does not have the possibility to by mistake to breaking changes to machine running it.

We've kind of gotten this to work by wrapping the start process with a command, but one problem we run into is that the built in buttons to for example start vscode or similar also always use that user. And I would like the possibility to say
1) Possibility to choose what user codex-app should start vscode and similar with
2) Possibility to Start Codex-App with user x, to be able to restrict on a AD-permission level what it can do.

Additional information

This is so we pretty much have the environment sandboxed, without having to trust codex to not being able to do stuff, and have possibility to run it on local machine
