First we need to check our integrity level by running
C:\\Users\\iron>whoami /groups
GROUP INFORMATION
-----------------
Group Name Type SID Attributes
============================================================= ================ ============ ==================================================
Everyone Well-known group S-1-1-0 Mandatory group, Enabled by default, Enabled group
NT AUTHORITY\\Local account and member of Administrators group Well-known group S-1-5-114 Group used for deny only
BUILTIN\\Administrators Alias S-1-5-32-544 Group used for deny only

NT AUTHORITY\\NTLM Authentication Well-known group S-1-5-64-10 Mandatory group, Enabled by default, Enabled group
Mandatory Label\\**Medium Mandatory Level** Label S-1-16-8192
C:\\Users\\iron>
We then can see our current privileges by running
whoami /priv
As Medium integrity level:
C:\\Users\\iron>whoami /priv
