# Steps to reproduce

open a new tab. it will not be an admin. no way to make it an admin.

# Expected behavior

an option to open a tab as admin or promote a tab to admin or an option in the settings file to make tabs admin by default when open. many times using power shell a user will need to be an admin to run some commands.

# Actual behavior

no clear way to promote a tab to admin.
