How to Check if User Accounts are Administrator or Standard Users

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.
