+description: Reference for the 'context' DSC configuration document function
+ms.date:     09/26/2025
+ms.topic:    reference
+title:       context
+---
+
+# context
+
+## Synopsis
+
+Returns information about the current execution context including operating system
+and security context.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```Syntax
+context()
+```
+
+## Description
+
+The `context()` function returns an object containing information about the current
+execution context. This includes details about the operating system (family,
+version, architecture, etc.) and the current security context (elevated,
+current, or restricted). The function takes no parameters and always returns
+the same structure with current system information.
+
+The returned object contains:
+
+- `os`: Operating system information including family, version, edition,
+  architecture, and other OS details
+- `security`: The current security context (Current, Elevated, or Restricted)
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1 - Basic context information
+
+This example shows how to retrieve and display basic context information.
+
+```yaml
+# context.example.1.dsc.config.yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
+resources:
+  - name: Show context information
+    type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+    properties:
+      output: "[context()]"
+```
+
+```bash
+dsc config get --file context.example.1.dsc.config.yaml
+```
+
+```yaml
+results:
+- name: Show context information
+  type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+  result:
+    actualState:
+      output:
+        os:
+          family: Windows
+          version: "10.0.22631"
+          edition: "Windows 11 Pro"
+          bitness: 64
+          architecture: "x86_64"
+        security: Current
+messages: []
+hadErrors: false
+```
+
+### Example 2 - Conditional configuration based on elevation
+
+This example demonstrates using the context function with [`if()`][00],
+[`equals()`][01], and [`not()`][02] to conditionally configure resources based
+on whether DSC is running with elevated privileges.
+
+```yaml
+# context.example.2.dsc.config.yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
+resources:
+  - name: Check if running elevated
+    type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+    properties:
+      output: "[if(equals(context().security, 'Elevated'), 'Running as Administrator', 'Running as Standard User')]"
+  - name: Elevated-only configuration
+    type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+    condition: "[equals(context().security, 'Elevated')]"
+    properties:
+      output: "This resource only runs when elevated"
+  - name: Standard user configuration
+    type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+    condition: "[not(equals(context().security, 'Elevated'))]"
+    properties:
+      output: "This resource runs for standard users"
+```
+
+```bash
+# When running as standard user
+dsc config get --file context.example.2.dsc.config.yaml
+```
+
+```yaml
+results:
+- name: Check if running elevated
+  type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+  result:
+    actualState:
+      output: "Running as Standard User"
+- name: Standard user configuration
+  type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+  result:
+    actualState:
+      output: "This resource runs for standard users"
+messages: []
+hadErrors: false
+```
+
+### Example 3 - OS-specific configuration using context
+
+This example shows how to use the context function with [`equals()`][01] and
+[`concat()`][03] to create OS-specific configurations.
+
+```yaml
+# context.example.3.dsc.config.yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
+resources:
+  - name: Show OS information
+    type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+    properties:
+      output:
+        family: "[context().os.family]"
+        version: "[context().os.version]"
+        architecture: "[context().os.architecture]"
+  - name: Windows-specific resource
+    type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+    condition: "[equals(context().os.family, 'Windows')]"
+    properties:
+      output: "[concat('Running on Windows ', context().os.edition)]"
+  - name: Linux-specific resource
+    type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+    condition: "[equals(context().os.family, 'Linux')]"
+    properties:
+      output: "[concat('Running on Linux ', context().os.version)]"
+  - name: macOS-specific resource
+    type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+    condition: "[equals(context().os.family, 'macOS')]"
+    properties:
+      output: "[concat('Running on macOS ', context().os.version)]"
+```
+
+```bash
+# When running on Windows
+dsc config get --file context.example.3.dsc.config.yaml
+```
+
+```yaml
+results:
+- name: Show OS information
+  type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+  result:
+    actualState:
+      output:
+        family: "Windows"
+        version: "10.0.22631"
+        architecture: "x86_64"
+- name: Windows-specific resource
+  type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
+  result:
+    actualState:
+      output: "Running on Windows Windows 11 Pro"
+messages: []
+hadErrors: false
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+The `context()` function takes no parameters.
+
+```yaml
+Type:         N/A
+Required:     false
+MinimumCount: 0
+MaximumCount: 0
+```
+

+
+```yaml
+Type: object
+```
+
+### os
+
+The `os` property contains detailed information about the operating system:
+

+- `version`: The version string of the operating system
+- `edition`: The edition of the operating system (e.g., "Windows 11 Pro",
+  "Ubuntu 22.04 LTS")
+- `codename`: The codename for the operating system (primarily for Linux
+  distributions)
+- `bitness`: The bitness of the operating system (32 or 64)
+- `architecture`: The processor architecture (e.g., "x86_64", "arm64")
+
+### security
+
+The `security` property indicates the current security context:
+
