Choosing Run As Admin (when the user you are logged in as isn't one) will prompt you for the credentials of a user who is. That will mean SE then runs with those other credentials, not yours, and almost certainly open with no profiles listed (because that admin user never created any, and it's looking at his user-area in his Windows-profile, where it won't find any). This is certainly what happens when I test in a Windows 8 VM.
You could set up a profile (and Schedule it) as that admin user, and that will probably work, yes, but unless you take steps to change it, you'd need to log in (or Run As) that admin user to see the logs and status of what would be a completely separate profile belonging to a completely separate user.
If you switch your profile storage to 'common' (the program folder) so that all users can see all profiles, that won't matter. Note that you'd need to log in as (or Run As) the admin user and change that profile storage setting for him to 'common' also (otherwise any profiles created 'as' the admin user would be created in his user-area, and the standard user won't be able to see them). As per KB 49 below, you also need to change the logging settings for each user to a common location of your choice (by default these are stored per-user also, for security reasons). If you don't do that, logs of runs by ('as') the admin user won't be visible to the standard user, even if the profile is, because the default log-storage location uses a user-based system variable which will then evaluate (when run as a different user) to a location where that log isn't.
Note also that you'd need to migrate any existing profiles manually. Changing the setting changes where new profiles are stored, but does not move the old ones.
