Question

I’m trying to get the current privacy status for a determine user’s property. I’m doing nothing fancy, I just need to know how the property is configured so I can take decisions. This is my code:

      SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
        {   
           using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp2010dev:3767"))
            { 
                context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
                psm = ProfileSubtypeManager.Get(context);
                upm = new UserProfileManager(context, false);
                UserProfile user = upm.GetUserProfile(false);
                Privacy privacy = user["SPS-Skills"].Privacy;
            }
        });

I obtain this message: Access Denied: You may inly retrieve your own profile’s privacy setting, unless you are an administrator.

Any clue?

            var superToken = AdminUser.UserToken;
            HttpContext con = HttpContext.Current;
            SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
            {
                using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url, superToken))
                {
                    SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
                    HttpContext.Current = null;
                    UserProfileManager upm = new UserProfileManager(context, false);
                    \\get useprofile code
                 }  
             });
           HttpContext.Current = con;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw ex;
        }
