Hi,

How can I find out the type of the current user i.e. whether the user is an Administrator or Limited User. I know how to find the current users name using System.getProperty( "user.name" ) but I need the type because its difficult to tell from the name whether the user is an Admin or not.

Thanx

There is no patch for ignorance...

Since this is OS dependant you'll have to do this using JNI.
