Checking Apps Permissions Level

[kingzooly]

Is there a way to detect if we are running in admin or not, I want to make a tool that wont run some commands unless it's in admin mode, also is there away to request the admin level while the tool is running so they can upgrade there access level without restarting the software?

Here's checking the elevation status with MemoryEx, however elevating a process is only possible by re-launching it with elevated privileges I believe. I don't think you can ask for administrator privileges in the current process, only in a new process.

Here's another example with MemoryEx in which the application is restarted with elevated privileges when it is running without elevated privileges.

Keep on going man, use it as a distraction - even though that's always quite difficult with depression. The one thing that can actually distract me from everything is software engineering and embedded development - so I do that as much as I can
