Help - Application to run as someone else?

S

SA

I wonder if someone can help with the following example.

A standard network user within our business does not have access rights to
manuipulate the folder structures on our shared network. So he cannot
create, delete or rename any folders, but he can open and save files that
are contained in the folders. This has already been setup using the security
permissions on the network.

The trouble that I have is that an application that the user runs, needs to
create a subfolder on the network and I want to alter the setup,
installation or configuration to allow the application to create the folders
.... without granting the same permissions to the user.

I am sure that I have seen the option somewhere for an application to "RUN
AS..." and that you could select a different user.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Sean

Make a shortcut to the program, then on the properties page select the
shortcut tab, on that page press the Advanced..." button then on the form
that pops up select "Run with different credentials"

That was obvious wasn't it :)
