How can I find out whether my current PowerShell console runs elevated (as administrator)

Question

Is there a cmdlet or some other way to find out whether my current PowerShell console runs as administrator, i.e. elevated?

Answer 1

Try this code:

if ((New-Object Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal([Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent())).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator)) { 
Write-Host "Elevated." 
} else { 
Write-Host "Not elevated." 
}
