Check whether Powershell is running with administrator privileges

 In the previous post, I was using Oh My Posh to apply a theme to Powershell, but the prompt line was pushed back when I 'Run as Administrator'. Let me summarize how I solved this in my own way.

Customizing Windows Powershell

For example:

When run with administrator privileges, one line is pushed

So, I decided to remove the time and speed display on the right side when 'Run as administrator' in the Powershell profile.

1. Copy the existing theme file and call the theme when ‘Run as administrator’.

2. Remove the right attribute from the copied theme file and save it as a separate theme file.

          "properties": {
            "always_enabled": true
          },
          "style": "plain",
          "template": " \ueba2 {{ .FormattedMs }} ",
          "type": "executiontime"
        }

  "final_space": true,
  "version": 2
}

3. Check ‘Run as administrator’ in Powershell profile and add conditional statement

function isAdminMode() {
    return ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] `
      [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent() `
    ).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator)
}

if(isAdminMode){
oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH\austin.omp.admin.json" | Invoke-Expression
}else{
oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH\austin.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression
}

4. Run Powershell with administrator privileges

Run as administrator
