Privilege check
===============
[](https://github.com/egor-tensin/privilege-check/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Check your privilege. On Windows.
Displays a window, showing
* if the current user belongs to the BUILTIN\Administrators group,
* whether the process is "run as Administrator",
* if it has elevated privileges,
* process's "integrity level".
If it's not "run as Administrator", a button allows to actually re-run the
executable as Administrator, utilizing Windows' User Account Control feature.
Development
-----------
Build using CMake.
The project is Windows-only, so building with either MSVC or MinGW-64 is
required.
There's a Makefile with useful shortcuts to build the project in the build/
directory (defaults to building with MinGW-w64):
make build
