detect whether a user logs on as an administrator or limited |
|
|
I need to display extra page content (.asp file) for users with administrator
rights on Windows XP SP2 machines. I can detect whether the client is using
Windows XP SP2 quite easily. But, how could I detect whether a user has
logged on as a limited user or an administrator?
Any help is appreciated. |

Your ASP code is server-side, so I am not sure how it could detect the
privilege level the user has on the client machine. Even if you ran the code
browser-side, I would think the broswer security settings should balk at
whatever it would take to make that determination.

Yes, it has to be some client side scripting like what I did to detact the OS
with javascript.
