I am running Windows Nanoserver in a container.The nanoserver contains only the command prompt and lacks powershell.
I want to execute certain commands inside the container in the command prompt which require elevated privileges. I am currently using the following to launch the command prompt of the container.
`docker exec -it cmd`
Is there any other way using which we can run the command prompt in admin mode?

Re: Exécuterning windows container's commande prompt in admin mode
As per the [Windows Containers documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/manage-containers/persistent-storage#permissions), the Windows Server Core has `ContainerAdministrator` as the default user whereas Windows NanoServer has `ContainerUser` as the default user.
Thanks to Peter's comment, I was able to connect to my container as admin using the following command-
`docker exec --user ContainerAdministrator -it cmd`
