Is it possible to execute PowerShell as an admin?

[carlspring]

Hi,

I need to run some PowerShell commands as an admin. Is this possible? We're running on our own Github Actions Runners.

Kind regards,

Martin

I don't think this action impacts your issue in any way.

As far as Actions docs say, there should be no problem to do so:

• https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#administrative-privileges
• Unable to run command with required permissions actions/runner-images#5213

I'd also like to point out, if you just want to run PowerShell scripts and not interact with GitHub Actions further, you might be better off just using the shell: pwsh: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsshell
