How to run powershell script in elevated mode i.e. "Run as administrator"

[Legacy User]

Hi Team,

I have to perform a task using powershell script. But the requirement is that I have to run it in elevated mode "Run as administrator". While trying to run the powershell script using "Run Script" operator, I am getting the error "Access Denied". While running the script manually without elevated mode, I am getting the same error "Access Denied" but on running the script on elevated mode manually runs successfully.

Kindly let me know how to run the script in elevated mode of Powershell.

 

Thanks

Looks like you just add '-verb runas' to the script you are executing:

Hi @Michael Niebuhr,

I have an administration user and I'm running the follow script:

Type: PS1
Script: hostname -Verb runAs​
Username: "PTPORTUGAL\\userpam"

And I get the follow error message:
cannot create process as user PTPORTUGAL\userpam - Access is denied.

Do you have any tip about what is the problem?

The error is a OS related permissions error, here is a knowledge document that hopefully will help you get past this:
