Checking for administrator privileges

Certificate management requires administrator privileges.
Prerequisites: You are working on the PC that houses your Supervisor station.
  1. Open a Windows command prompt (cmd).
  2. Change directories to the location you will use to store your certificates.

    The example uses the Niagara home folder saving certificate filesC:\Users\[username]\[frameworkversionx.x]\tridium\certManagement, where [userhome] is the name of the computer and [frameworkversionx.x] is the version of Niagara.

  3. Launch the Windows Powershell application as an administrator.
  4. To check for local administrator privileges, run the command: net localgroup administrators.
    This command lists the local member administrators, for example:

    PS C:\Downloads> net localgroup administratorsAlias name administratorsComment

    Members---------------------------------------------------------------------------GLOBAL\GBL.WKS.APAC.CORP.ComputerAdminsGLOBAL\H364917HONADMINThe command completed successfully.

    PS C:\C:\Users\[username]\[frameworkversionx.x]\tridium\certManagement>

    The user GLOBAL\H364971 has admin privileges.
