# is-elevated > Check if the process is running with elevated privileges By checking if the process [is root](https://github.com/sindresorhus/is-root) on Unix systems or if the user is [administrator](https://github.com/sindresorhus/is-admin) on Windows. Keep in mind that `root` and `Administrator` mean different things so this module might not be suitable for your use-case. ## Install ``` $ npm install is-elevated ``` ## Usage ```js import isElevated from 'is-elevated'; console.log(await isElevated()); //=> false ``` ## Related - [sudo-block](https://github.com/sindresorhus/sudo-block) - Block users from running your app with root permissions
