Determine in Windows if the application is running with elevated privileges [duplicate]


Determine in Windows if the application is running with elevated privileges [duplicate]



This question already has an answer here:



This has been solved! This was accomplished with the following code:


#include <iostream>
#include <Shlobj.h>

int main()
{
if (!IsUserAnAdmin)
{
// Do stuff
}

if (IsUserAnAdmin)
{
// Do stuff
}



Thank you to everyone who commented on the post.



I'm in a bit of a rut with the C++ application I'm developing.



My application requires elevated privileges to function properly, and I'd like to be able to determine if such privileges are present upon runtime. How would I go about doing this? I would like to check immediately after the program is run, and throw an error or proceed with execution (of course)



Thank you for taking the time to respond.



This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

The right way to do this is to add a manifest that says you need administrative privileges and let Windows handle it for you.

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...

Opening a url is failing in Swift
