Advanced Program Setting Options:
Allows a user to run specific tools and programs with different permissions than the user's current logon provides. It is good practice for administrators to use an account with restrictive permissions to perform routine, non-administrative tasks, and to use an account with broader permissions only when performing specific administrative tasks. To accomplish this without logging off and back on, log on with a regular user account and use the runas command to run the tools that require the broader permissions.
runas [/profile] [/env] [/netonly] /user:UserAccountName program

/profile
Specifies the name of the user's profile, if it needs to be loaded.
/env

/user:UserAccountName
