If I have my program #RequireAdmin, does anything it aunches get the same privilages? Also, I have some questions about RunAs().

I want to launch a .bat file from an autoit script. But I need it to be executed in an elevated command prompt. Normally you do this by right clicking & "run as admin"(My wording might be off), but my script is launching it.

So, does the CMD window launched get the same privileges me, or do I need to use RunAs(ME)?
If I have to use RunAs, I need to ask for help at this point because Micro$oft has made using runas mildly confusing. Which account name is it referring to my account nickname, my sign in email address, or the account name as given out by the "WHOAMI" command in cmd?

Same question for the Password. Do I just use my Pin, or do I need to use my Microsoft account password?

And as always, thank you for your time.

You shouldn't require RunAs when using #RequireAdmin as this will elevate the script, you can test this by running the following, you'll notice that the CMD window is running as Administrator

#RequireAdmin
Run(@Comspec & " /k Echo Hello")
