Need to support running in root privilege on Linux Travis CI similar as in AppVeyor #5645
Description
Activity
This change needs to use this feature to actually run these tests on linux: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/6034/files/df3371990529ae64f481760f1edb7ccdbb89d9d7..ff9a0dde9d655efbe1460e0fab8e3f5dcf7ddee2
I found some tests that use
Test-Elevated- I believe we should fix them too.Can somebody please confirm/deny if the fix for this won't be limited to "Travis CI" system?
I'm talking about a scenario where I run PS tests on a private Linux VM.
Assuming tests are marked properly, will they run with admin privilege in this case?you could use the same commands to run locally. The same situation as with windows today.

We need to support running tests in root privilege on Linux Travis CI in a similar way as our windows tests running in AppVeyor. For windows tests, we have a tag
RequireAdminOnWindowsto indicate the tests that need admin privilege. We run those tests in an adminpwshsession, and then we userunasto remove admin privilege and run the rest tests.With
sudo: requiredin.travis.yml, Travis CI Linux builds run in regular user privilege by default, but you can get the root privilege usingsudowith no need to provide a password (see the documentation). So we should be able to support a similar tag likeRequireAdminOnWindowson Linux.
