Elevate User Privlidges using Powershell

Question

Is it possible to use powershell to elevate a users privlidges or create a user
with admin privlidges from a user account on windows 10 education - version 1909?

Thankyou

Note* I have tried using NET USER but that pops up a UAC window requiring Admin Privs

Answer 1

Hi,
You can add user to the administrators with Add-LocalGroupMember

Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "$YourUserName"  

But you still have to run powershell as Administrator. If you want to bypass the UAC prompt, the answer is no.

Best Regards，
Ian
