@mukea/native-is-elevated

Checks if the process is running with elevated privileges (i.e., as root on Unix systems or Administrator on Windows).

Basically just a native version of is-elevated that doesn't spawn a new process on Windows.

Install

npm install --save @mukea/native-is-elevated

Windows note: the addon no longer hard-requires the optional MSVC Spectre libraries during normal builds. If a maintainer wants Spectre mitigation enabled explicitly, they can opt in during a custom node-gyp build.

Usage

const isElevated = require('@mukea/native-is-elevated')();  // boolean value
