  i have an app that works fine when a user logged in has admin priviledges but not when they are logged in as a guest. anyway that i can check to see if logged in user has admin priviledges using c# and framework 2 you could use the IsGuest property in the WindowsIdentity class System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().IsGuest at least this will tell if they are a guest however still may not be good enough for your solution. do you need to check if they are an admin or if they are a guest One other way maybe to use WMI, get the group the current user belongs to and see if any of them are in the administrators group however it would be expensive ...Show All
