Two questions 1. In delphi how can I tell what the window users permissions
settings are. 2
before I install an application. does anyone know what registry value
might need to be changed so a program
can used be used by "all users" admin
Thanks if you know

If you just need to see if the user is an administrator, you can use
the following code:
const
SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY: TSIDIdentifierAuthority =
(Value: (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5));
const
SECURITY_BUILTIN_DOMAIN_RID = $00000020;
DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS = $00000220;
function IsAdmin: Boolean;
var
hAccessToken: THandle;
ptgGroups: PTokenGroups;
dwInfoBufferSize: DWORD;
psidAdministrators: PSID;
x: Integer;
bSuccess: BOOL;
begin
Result := False;
bSuccess := OpenThreadToken(GetCurrentThread, TOKEN_QUERY, True,
hAccessToken);
if not bSuccess then
begin
if GetLastError = ERROR_NO_TOKEN then
bSuccess := OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess, TOKEN_QUERY,
hAccessToken);
end;
if bSuccess then
begin
GetMem(ptgGroups, 1024);
bSuccess := GetTokenInformation(hAccessToken, TokenGroups,
ptgGroups, 1024, dwInfoBufferSize);
CloseHandle(hAccessToken);
if bSuccess then
begin
AllocateAndInitializeSid(SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY, 2,
SECURITY_BUILTIN_DOMAIN_RID, DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, psidAdministrators);
for x := 0 to ptgGroups.GroupCount - 1 do
if EqualSid(psidAdministrators, ptgGroups.Groups[x].Sid) then
begin
Result := True;
Break;
end;
FreeSid(psidAdministrators);
end;
FreeMem(ptgGroups);
end;
end;
you're asking here.
