Hello! I may be posting this in the wrong section (in which case I apologize), but is it possible to detect (using javascript or other web language) if the person using a computer has admin rights?

I have a feeling it would not be possible (security and all), but I'm designing an e-learning course which would require the user to have admin rights on the computer they're using. To make it more user friendly, I wanted to be able to tell them whether or not they have admin privileges on the computer, rather than them having to try and figure it out themselves.

Thanks for any and all advice!

better to check that in the OS user management tools itself.

So I'm assuming that there is no way to check whether or not a user has admin privileges via javascript or other web language?
