C# Check if run as administrator [duplicate]
Try this
public static bool IsAdministrator()
{
var identity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
var principal = new WindowsPrincipal(identity);
return principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
}
This looks functionally the same as your code, but the above is working for me...
doing it functionally, (without unnecessary temp variables) ...
public static bool IsAdministrator()
{
return (new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()))
.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
}
or, using expression-bodied property:
public static bool IsAdministrator =>
new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent())
.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
