Good afternoon, I need to know if an application written in Delphi is running with administrator privileges or not. Does anyone know any way to get that information?

Windows has a routine that returns if the user has administrator permissions, you can access it through Unit Shellapi by declaring the external routine in the Unit header as follows:
function IsUserAnAdmin(): BOOL; external shell32;
-
But she checks the situation of user and not of process as specified in the question.
-
Yes, from the user who ran the application.
-
If it is executed with the option "run as administrator" the function returns True.

Do you have access to the source code ? Do you know what version of Delphi was written ? If the answer to the 2 questions is negative, you want to know if the executable was executed as administrator through the Operating System ?

I need to release a system functionality only when it runs as an administrator.

Man, I confess I’ve had to do this before, but I never found a "right" way. Every time I did a treatment to try to do what I needed to do, and if I couldn’t, I took care of the exception. I can suggest a case where I needed to create a registry in windows if you want.

That’s exactly what I need, to release a setting that writes to the Windows registry when it has administrator privileges. I am doing it this way, I try to recover what I have in regedit when I open the application and if there is an exception, block the configuration. Is there any other way?
