Not sure if this will work for what you need, but can you just "open
elevated process.. " to start your process with privileges?  The user would
have to be able to provide a password of course.

Alternatively, and NOT recommended (because its asking for trouble)  you
can do this..
echo passwordhere |sudo -S commandHere
the -S means to read from stdin, so the echo gets popped in for the
password prompt.
