Maybe I should rephrase the question:

How do you check if "Allow user to administer this computer" is turned on for a specific user account?

It feels like you're trying to second-guess the OS here - would it be better to simply attempt whatever it is you want to do, and if that fails due to lack of privileges (assuming you can detect that) retry with more privileges?


Cheers,

Chris
