Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Hi, we have two users on Windows : a standard user and an admin user.
Can you please add a --user (-u) option to be able to run a command as the admin user ?
Scenario when this would be used?
My current user is not allowed to run sudo :
PS C:\> sudo cmd
You are not allowed to run sudo
PS C:\>
Supporting information
You can get inspired from gerardog gsudo.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the repository's existing command-line options and Windows execution flow, then determine how --user/-u should select an administrator account. Done means the described standard-user scenario can run a command under the selected admin account, with behavior defined for invalid or unavailable accounts.
