Standard users and Administrators have separate permissions in Windows 10. Standard users can't run anything that requires elevated privileges. In this tutorial, we show you a few ways to check if a user is a Standard or Administrator Account.

1: Accounts

Click on Start > Settings > Accounts.



You can also click on Email & accounts or Family & other users to check other accounts.

2: Control Panel

Open the Control Panel and click on User Accounts.



Click on Manage another account to see other user account statuses.

3: Command Prompt or PowerShell

Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell and type in net localgroup administrators.

Any Administrator accounts are displayed. Any users not listed are Standard users.



4: Local Users and Groups

Local Users and Groups are only available in Windows 10 Pro, Education, and Enterprise.

Press the Windows Key + R, type in lusrmgr.msc, and press Enter.

Click on Groups.

Double-click Administrators.

Any account listed under Members is an Administrator.
