You're asking about how programs behave when installed from different user accounts. Generally, both methods install the software under the system's administrator profile, regardless of the standard user you log in as. However, the installation process may vary slightly depending on the software and your system configuration. It's worth confirming with your IT team or checking the software's documentation for precise details.

This confirms your identity, the groups you belong to, and your permissions. Remember that whether a user is an admin depends on membership in the Administrators group. Without UAC, running a program gives it a copy of the access token, which dictates its capabilities. With UAC, it receives a limited access token. The original token has "Administrators" removed from the list (along with other adjustments). Even if you're part of the Administrators group, the program can't access admin-level functions. When you choose "Run as Administrator" and you're an admin, the program starts with the full unrestricted token. If you're not an admin, it asks for an admin account and runs under that identity.
