On Windows it's easy to run cmd
application as administrator:
Right click on cmd icon >> run as administrator`
But I would like to use PhpStorm terminal
tool as administrator since I constantly have to execute queries that require administrator role.
When I open:
File >> Settings >> Tools >> Terminal
I can see that it is directly connected to cmd.exe
and there are options to be filled:
And I see no checkbox with choice to run it as administrator.

From the main menu, select View | Tool Windows | Terminal or press Alt+F12 .
From Windows start menu right click the Pycharm shortcut and select 'Run as administrator.

Simply run the PyCharm shortcut as administrator, and then PyCharm terminal will run with admin privileges.
Opening a Terminal Window We can open the terminal window with ⌥F12 on macOS, or Alt+F12 on Windows and Linux. The terminal supports all the same commands that the operating system supports. and press enter.
There are no options in the IDE for that at the moment: to run the shell (cmd.exe

etc.) with higher rights.

Your only option for now (that I'm aware of) is running IDE itself as Administrator -- Process Hacker tool confirms that both the IDE and cmd.exe
will be run with elevated rights.
P.S. For one time execution (or if you need to run IDE as normal user) -- have a look at this question and offered solutions: How to open an elevated cmd using command line for Windows?
