windows - Set administrator privileges to subprocess.check_call() in Python

Question

I call two executables from a python script one which needs Administrator privileges and one which does not need them. Is there any way by which I can set the Administrator privilege before executing the executable so that it does not ask me for my password.

My script is as follows

import subprocess

subprocess.check_call(['DoesnotNeedAdminPrivilege.exe'])
subprocess.check_call(['NeedsAdminPrivilege.exe'])

I tried to run this script from cmd by starting the cmd to run as an Adminstrator. Is there any way to pass these admin rights to the second executable so that it works without any problem

Answer 1

I found a nasty workaround

    f = open('test.cmd', 'w+')
    f.write("execute.exe")
    f.close()

    os.system("runas /savecred /profile /user:Administrator "test.cmd"")

or you can use subprocess
