Today, my iMac decided to require an Admin ID and password in order to allow me to move a file to the trash.
How can I eliminate this annoying security step?
thanks in advance.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Thank Joe for taking the time to answer. I did see the answer that seems to have worked in 2012.
My challenge is that the iMAC is my company's property. We usually run on PC, but we have a couple of MACs for test.
My admin guy is not confortable with the fix suggested by baltwo, becasue it apparently (if i understood well, i am no expert) opens the Access to all Applications without any security anymore.
When in fact all I want is to be able to trash some files and emptry the trash once in a while to keep my computer and folders clean.
Any idea this request appeared out of the blue (yesterday i was able to trash document without any pbm or password request).
thanks

This allows you to move and trash user files, but not System files by resetting your password.
Need to remove a security step that self generated today
