afa.py (ask for admin)

Admin Rights Checker

Introduction

The AdminRightsChecker class in the afa.py file provides a method to check if the current user has administrator rights on a Windows system. This document provides an overview of the code and explains how to use it.

Installation

To use the AdminRightsChecker class, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have Python installed on your system. The code is compatible with Python 3.

2. Create a new Python file or module, for example, main.py, in your desired directory.

3. Copy the contents of the afa.py file into your main.py file.

4. Save the file.

Usage

To use the AdminRightsChecker class, follow these steps:

1. Import the AdminRightsChecker class in your Python script or module:

   from afa import AdminRightsChecker

2. Create an instance of the AdminRightsChecker class:

   main = AdminRightsChecker()

3. Call the check method on the AdminRightsChecker instance:

   result = main.check()

   The check method returns a string indicating the result of the admin rights check. It can have two possible values:

   • "Already Admin": If the user has administrator rights.
   • "Asked For Admin": If the script requested admin rights.

4. Use the result variable as needed in your application. You can print it to the console or perform further actions based on the returned value:

   print(result)

   Example output:

   Already Admin
   

Example

Here's an example of how to use the AdminRightsChecker class:

from afa import AdminRightsChecker

def main():
    admin_checker = AdminRightsChecker()
    result = admin_checker.check()
    print(result)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

When you run the above script, it will check if the current user has administrator rights. If the user has admin rights, it will print "Already Admin"; otherwise, it will request admin rights and print "Asked For Admin".

Please note that this code is specific to Windows systems as it uses the ctypes module from the Windows API.
