Describe the bug
When connected to a MeshCentral assistant Windows computer there isn't a way to do actions as Administrator. Even if you launch the exe as administrator you haven't administrator's rights. That's hardly prevents all system helpdesk activities.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run an assistant on a Windows PC
  2. Try to install a software that requires admin privileges (you can't...)

Expected behavior
A way to elevate privileges as admin like Teamviewer and similar tools do or, at least, the option to directly run the executable as administrator.
