PowerShell command to check whether an application is running with elevated privileges-CodePudding

I require a PowerShell command or script which will check whether my console application is running as administrator or not. If it is not running as administrator, I will stop it and run again using the script.

If PowerShell command is not available, is there any other way to check this?

Thanks in advance.

You can use my Test-ProcessElevated cmdlet (It is too long, I've posted to GitHub gist).

For example:

# from pipeline:
Get-Process notepad | Test-ProcessElevated

# from parameter:
Test-ProcessElevated $(Get-Process notepad)

# it returns boolean
if (ps notepad | Test-ProcessElevated)
{
    Write-Host 'notepad is running elevated.'
}

# dwm.exe is running in a different session:
ps dwm | Test-ProcessElevated

I've tested it in both Windows PowerShell 5 and PowerShell 7.
