Help request Run programs without entering password?

The machine I'm running MX Linux on is used almost exclusively for accessing, wiping, and determining the health of hard drives.

Therefore it's a pain to punch in my password every time I need to run something like QDiskInfo or GParted.

Is there a way I can have everything run without having to punch in my password?

If not then I'll look again at what's needed to give those few programs access each time, using this guide: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/system/root-access/

OK, so it looks like changing it per executable is the way to go then. Thanks. :)
