win_whoami – Get information about the current user and process

New in version 2.5.

Synopsis

  • Designed to return the same information as the whoami /all command.

  • Also includes information missing from whoami such as logon metadata like logon rights, id, type.

Notes

Note

  • If running this module with a non admin user, the logon rights will be an empty list as Administrator rights are required to query LSA for the information.
