## 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.
