When you run a process under sudo, it will be running as the root user. Processes that that process launches will also be running as the root user; new processes run as the same user as their parent process.
So internally, no, it won’t result in another invocation of sudo. But those processes a dolphin process running as root starts will be running as the root user, same as if you had individually invoked them via sudo.
If you’re running dolphin as sudo and open like a text file in an editor, does it edit the file with sudo?
