How to check if a process has elevated privileges in windows 7 using native C++?

How can I check if a process has elevated privileges in Windows 7 (using native C++, not C#/C++.net) ?

I've been looking for an answer for quite sometimes, but all I can find are the answers that use the .NET framework.

The simplest approach is to call the IsUserAnAdmin function. If you need more precision you can also use GetTokenInformation but in most cases that is overkill.
