You can open Files with admin permissions from the Pantheon Dock - just secondary click and choose "New Window as Administrator". An alternative way is to run io.elementary.files-pkexec in a terminal. A third way is to open a new tab with the path admin://.

Becoming administrator on demand is the subject of an (old) feature request (#165) but is not simple to implement.
