What is the best way for checking if the user of a script has root-like privileges?

os.geteuid gets the effective user id, which is exactly what you want, so I can’t think of any better way to perform such a check. The one bit that’s uncertain is that “root-like’ in the title: your code checks for exactly root, no “like” about it, and indeed I wouldn’t know what “root-like but not … Read more

How can I tell if my process is running as Administrator?

Technically, if you want to see if the member is the local administrator account, then you can get the security identifier (SID) of the current user through the User property on the WindowsIdentity class, like so (the static GetCurrent method gets the current Windows user): WindowsIdentity windowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(); string sid = windowsIdentity.User.ToString(); The User … Read more

Execute Immediate within a stored procedure keeps giving insufficient priviliges error

Oracle’s security model is such that when executing dynamic SQL using Execute Immediate (inside the context of a PL/SQL block or procedure), the user does not have privileges to objects or commands that are granted via role membership. Your user likely has “DBA” role or something similar. You must explicitly grant “drop table” permissions to … Read more

Privileges/owner issue when writing in C:\ProgramData\

No, C:\ProgramData, aka FOLDERID_ProgramData, has restricted security settings. Standard users can create files there. But these files are, by default, secured so that only the user that created the file can subsequently modify the file. The recommended solution is for your installer to create a sub directory of C:\ProgramData for your shared storage. And that … Read more

MySQL grant all privileges to database except one table

I know this is an old post, but I thought I’d add on to @tdammers question for others to see. You can also perform a SELECT CONCAT on information_schema.tables to create your grant commands, and not have to write a separate script. First revoke all privileges from that db: REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON db.* FROM … Read more

How to show all privileges from a user in oracle?

You can try these below views. SELECT * FROM USER_SYS_PRIVS; SELECT * FROM USER_TAB_PRIVS; SELECT * FROM USER_ROLE_PRIVS; DBAs and other power users can find the privileges granted to other users with the DBA_ versions of these same views. They are covered in the documentation . Those views only show the privileges granted directly to … Read more

Grant all on a specific schema in the db to a group role in PostgreSQL

You found the shorthand to set privileges for all existing tables in the given schema. The manual clarifies: (but note that ALL TABLES is considered to include views and foreign tables). Bold emphasis mine. serial columns are implemented with nextval() on a sequence as column default and, quoting the manual: For sequences, this privilege allows … Read more

Detect if Java application was run as a Windows admin

I’ve found a different solution that seems to be platform-independent. It tries to write system-preferences. If that fails, the user might not be an admin. As Tomáš Zato suggested, you might want to suppress error messages caused by this method. You can do this by setting System.err: import java.io.OutputStream; import java.io.PrintStream; import java.util.prefs.Preferences; import static … Read more
