Is there a way to elevate privileges to the level required to write files

  • 0

Is there a way to elevate privileges to the level required to write files to a network folder with our Delphi 2006 (Win32) application?

The user running the application does not have permission to write (or view) files in the network folder in question.

Any recommended techniques or alternative suggestions?

    You could prompt the user to enter credentials for a user with elevated permissions and then temporarily operate under that other user’s login while writing to the network share. To do this, you are looking for the LogonUser and ImpersonateLoggedOnUser functions. Please see this answer.
