C# administrator privilege - checking

Question

I know that there are some similar questions. But I want to check only ONE thing.

I only want to know if program is running as administrator. I want to check that because I want to edit some secured files. User don't have to be administrator. I only want to know if my application has rights to edit some secured files that are editable when running as Administrator.

Answer 1

This will return a bool valid

using System.Security.Principal;  bool isElevated; using (WindowsIdentity identity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()) {     WindowsPrincipal principal = new WindowsPrincipal(identity);     isElevated = principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator); }
