Configuration used: Windows 10 1909, TC 9.50a rc1 (also 9.22a - and all earlier versions might have the issue).
There were two text files, and at least one required elevated permissions to be viewed in Lister.
But trying to compare by contents fails with "access denied" message box without an attempt to request for permissions.
I am not aware of any way to start comparison "As administrator" except running another instance of TC (same for Synchronize Dirs tool).
In case of Compare by content TC could check return code and restart comparison with elevated permissions when appropriate.

This was already reported, but seems to be intentional: viewtopic.php?t=42464
Also there is my request from 2018 to add support for at least viewing (read-only comparing) files with required elevated access in CBC (with a quoted comment from Christian Ghisler on why CBC currently doesn't support elevated access - because of it's editing capability): viewtopic.php?f=14&t=50059

Re: Compare by content does not request elevation
Thanks for the links.
Elevated TC is more risky than CBC tool alone, so safety reasoning is slim.
