Description of the new feature/enhancement

Having the ability to create different profiles, can be a great visual clue as to what you are doing, or where you are doing it at, e.g dev vs production. The same can be said about running as an administrator vs a regular user. As an admin I can potentially make damaging changes to a system, while as a normal user, I would not have the permissions. Having the ability to not only customize a profile, but have a separate profile that would load when it is detected that I launched the terminal as administrator would be a handy visual clue that I can do something potentially destructive. A red background for admin, or a green background as a user for example.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add the ability to create a different profile section for running the terminal when I right click and select "Run As Administrator" vs just normally launching the Terminal as a normal user.
