Switch or test administrator's mode

Switch

package main

import (
    "os"
    "path/filepath"

    "github.com/nyaosorg/go-windows-su"
)

func main() {
    windir := os.Getenv("SystemRoot")
    hosts := filepath.Join(windir, `system32\drivers\etc\hosts`)

    su.ShellExecute(su.RUNAS,
        "notepad",
        hosts,
        `C:\`)
}

If you call the executable on the network by su.ShellExecute, give the parameter the path filtered by filepath.EvalSymlinks.

Test

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"

    "github.com/nyaosorg/go-windows-su"
)

func main() {
    flag, err := su.IsElevated()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err.Error())
        os.Exit(2)
    } else if flag {
        fmt.Println("Administrator mode")
        os.Exit(0)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("Not administrator mode")
        os.Exit(1)
    }
}
