Enhance the {{identity}} fact with the {{ superuser privileged }} element - a boolean flag which is set to {{true}} if the facter process runs with UID of 0 on *NIX systems or with the privileges of the local Administrators group on Windows. Under any other circumstances the flag is set to {{false}}.

The priviliged flag implemented in the frame of this ticket was identified as the cleanest solution to the problem discussed on PE-14501. And since it was blocking that issue it took its place in the sprint.

Previous comment was incorrect - user was in Administrator group; but the command prompt (and therefore the facter process) did have elevated privileges. Attached screenshot shows privileged is true when facter is run with elevated privileges Change By: James Stocks Attachment: Screen Shot 2016-05-23 at 18.22.15.png
