Are there alternative methods, such as JavaScript, to check for administrator rights if PHP is limited to server-side execution?

If PHP is limited to server-side execution and you need to check for administrator rights, one alternative method is to use JavaScript on the client-side to detect the user's privileges. You can create a JavaScript function that checks if the user is an administrator by making an AJAX request to the server and validating the response. 

// PHP code snippet to handle AJAX request and check for administrator rights
<?php
// Check if the request is coming from AJAX
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
    // Check for administrator rights (you can implement your own logic here)
    $isAdmin = true; // Assume the user is an administrator for demonstration purposes

    // Send the response back to the client
    echo json_encode(array('isAdmin' => $isAdmin));
    exit;
}
?>
