Python 3: How to use subprocess.run() as admin (windows 10)

问题

I need to run the following information in windows command line. Someone kindly helped me with the syntax for subprocess.run(). I get the error "[WinError 5] Access is denied", which potentially requires admin access rights. How can I use subprocess.run() as administrator? [Not on a corporate pc or anything, I have access to administrator rights]

subprocess.run([
    r'"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\v194\Framework\bin\Win64\runwb2"',
     '-B',
     '-F',
    r'E:\MEngA\Ansys\IFD_PartA_Rev3.wbpj',
     '-R',
    r'E:\MEngA\Results\sn07\script_partA.wbjn',
])

If anyone has done this before and knows "[WinError 5] Access is denied" is not related to admin rights, I'd also like to hear about that! Thanks in advance.

Edit - I have seen the following post (Run process as admin with subprocess.run in python) but am not finding it overly helpful. I've also read Python doc (https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html) and am not feeling enlightened.

Edit - I think this is closer:

processjl = subprocess.Popen(['runas', '/noprofile', '/user:Joe', r'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\v194\Framework\bin\Win64\runwb2'], stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
processjl.stdin.write(b'pass')
stdout, stderr = processjl.communicate()

But in return I get:

Enter the password for Joe: \x00\r\n

Any ideas? I am a mechanical engineer learning python to automate some finite element analysis tasks. I can do data work in python but am having trouble understanding this.

You're almost there but you cannot use runas because it will prompt you for password. You need something similar that allows you to provide password in the command line, it is:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec

Download this and install in your machine. Then you can do this to check it works

psexec.exe -u username -p password command_line_here

Afterwards, your command is simply:

processjl = subprocess.Popen([
      'psexec.exe', '-u', 'username', '-p', 'password',
       r'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\v194\Framework\bin\Win64\runwb2'
    ],
    stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
stdout, stderr = processjl.communicate()
