Environment

Windows build number: [10.0.18362.476]
Windows Terminal version: [0.7.3291.0]

Any other software? No

Steps to reproduce

  1. Define a cmd profile with "suppressApplicationTitle": true
  2. Define the same profile with a tabTitle, such as "tabTitle": "cmd"
  3. Start Windows Terminal as an Administrator (Run as Administrator).

Expected behavior

The tab appends the Administrator identifier to the tab:

This issue may be related to #3743 but it is not clear that this is exactly the same issue.

Actual behavior

The Administrator identifier is omitted from the tab:

If there were another way to identify a Windows Terminal session that is running as an administrator, I would probably prefer this behavior. It would be better than repeating Administrator on each tab, using valuable space.
