Is it possible to run something like an method in C# as an Administrator User and the rest with an other User?
I need to run it as an specific user from AD because i need the Permission for an specific Folder.

You cannot run an a process as a normal user then try to execute a method as elevated admin priv's. It's the entire process runs with admin priv's or none of it. This is for security reasons.

You can, however, use impersonation to execute a method as a different user, just not elevated. See c# - How do you do Impersonation in .NET?[^] this answer on SO. It does a great job of explaining things.
