You can get the name of the user that is logged in by checking the environment variables $USERNAME (on Windows) and $USER (on Mac). As to the user's permission level, this is what I use (watch line wraps): function stsIsAdminUser pName, pComputer put stsAdminUserList(pComputer) into tList return (pName is among the lines of tList) end stsIsAdminUser function stsAdminUserList pOpt_ComputerName switch (the platform) case "MacOS" put shell("dscl . read /groups/admin") into tData filter tData with "GroupMembership:*" put line 1 of tData into tList -- strip other lines if there are any delete word 1 of tList replace space with CR in tList break case "Win32" put "Set objGroup = GetObject(" & q("WinNT://" & pOpt_ComputerName & "/administrators,group") & ")" & cr & \ "For Each objMember in objGroup.Members" & cr & \ "If tAdminList =" && quote & quote && "Then" & cr & \ "tAdminList = objMember.name" & cr & "Else" & cr & \ "tAdminList = tAdminList + vbCrLf + objMember.name" & cr & \ "End If" & cr & \ "Next" & cr & \ "result = tAdminList" into tScript do script tScript as "VBScript" put the result into tList break end switch return tList end stsAdminUserList Hope this helps, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
