Elevated Permissions, VB, VS2008?
Aug 25, 2009
I have a project that I am testing with Windows 7, its almost complete but doesnt function without elevating the users permissions, I've tried a few of the sample codes I've found online and they don't seem to work... This has been tested on a admin account, but still requires elevated privaliges... I believe becuase it directly effects critical and non-critical windows services (starting, stopping, retreiving the status, enabling or disabling them)
[Code]...
I understand the UAC could be used to implement this "admin only" restriction, but as I havent even tried using the UAC Settings area yet. As I said, a link to helpful content would be cool, an example would be great.Running Visual Studio 2005 under a Visual Basic Environment.

I've encountered several scenarios when my application wants to delete an item, but is prevented from doing so by the operating system. So I've been wondering, is it possible to ask for elevated status after the application has launched? E.g. the application needs to delete a certain file, so it asks for confirmation and then deletes the file...

How can I have my elevated program start a new process (i.e. execute an exe) as non-elevated?I have an application that is running as an administrator because it was started by the installation program that installed it. I need that program to be run as the user logged in with normal permissions, not the elevated privileges that the installer gives it. I was just going to create a wrapper
application that runs the program non-elevated. how I would start a process in VB with non-elevated privileges?

I'm working on a server and i added a new function, to create a firewall rule for the connections. The problem is that when executed, it returns "The requested operation requires elevation (Run as administrator)."
How can i run the CMD at elevated privileges?
Here's the code.
Function ShellExec(ByVal command As String, Optional ByVal Elevated As Boolean = False)
Dim psi As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/C " & command)

Also it is set to run asdministrator.The application starts fine onall OS except Win7 32 bit. It works fine for win 7- 64 bit. On Win 7 32 bit:If i execute the application directly, it runs fine. But it does not starts at the time of windows startup.

I have built a method to pull some UserProfile information out of SharePoint. It works great in C#, but I can't figure out how to convert one part of it to VB.NET. I'm not that great at VB but usually the basic code converters online get me past any problem I have.
The problem is concerning the SPSecurity.RunWithEleveatedPrivilages section below. Does any one know how to implement the delegate code in VB?

I need to create a directory with the permissions restricted to all users but only the program can modify in it. I want the program to create new files and write text in this texts files, but nobody should see or modify the content of this files and even better if nobody could see either inside the directory itself.

I have a small application that creates users in the AD. It adds the users fine, and creates them a home directory. My problem is with granting the user permission to the home directory and is two foldFirstly the code detailed below adds the user to the folder, but because the account is newly created it displays as the SID rather than the name, not such a big deal, but sometimes the code fails as the replication has not caught up and the user isnt found. I beleive the answer here is to use the SID rather than the users name to add permissions, however I am not sure how to retrieve and store this when the account is created using directory services. Secondly and more frustrating is that once the user is added to the folder ACL their permissions are all blank.
Try
Dim Dinfo As New DirectoryInfo(Directory)
Dim DS As DirectorySecurity = New DirectorySecurity()
Dim Rights As FileSystemRightsFileSystemRights = FileSystemRights.Modify

I have been working on creating a small application we can run that will add permissions to a folder during an installation of a new application. The application requires read/write access to the folder and all subfolders. For whatever reason I have been instructed to include this in and install package that will be pushed out using SMS. Below is a sample of the method I use to add the user to the folder and give the appropriate rights to that user:
[Code]...
This works fine adding the user account to the folder and with with appropriate rights. I need it to give rights to the folder I select and all subfolders and files, This is where I am stuck. Does anyone know how to grant permission to a selected directory and all subfolders and files?

With Vista we are having a permission denied error when an application tries to change properties of a file in Program Data folder... before replacing with a newer version of the file.Changing of security permissions for a standard user is not an option. Is there a way we can grant the premissions for an application developed in VB .net to give permission only to change properties of this file.

If default 'sa' account has sys_admin permissions for the whole SQL instance and all its databases. On the database itself, if I don't have db_datareader permission enabled, I would assume it doesn't need it as it is implied but I was wondering in .net, is there way to check if db_datareader has explicitly been enabled and not just implied from the 'sa' being a sys_admin.

I'm trying to put together a simple "file search" app that lets the user specify where to look, what type of files to look for, what the minimum file size is, etc. (I know...sounds kinda like capabilities that already exist in Windows!). I'm running into "access" issues, even with directories that I wouldn't think I should have any trouble accessing.I'm doing something like this:
Dim f As New FileIOPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted)
f.AllLocalFiles = FileIOPermissionAccess.Read

I am exploring ways of implementing access control permissions in a VB 2008 Windows Application.This is an application for a non-profit where users would log in and depending on their group membership (ie. warehouse, accounting, etc.) some forms would be available while others are not. (eg Warehouse cannot view donor info) Additionally some groups can view information but not alter (add, delete, edit) information.groups who are denied permissions would not be able to open certain windows forms. The question is what is an efficient method of creating this permission structure and how would it be implemented in the application?

Hi.
I'm developing a project where I'm looking after a service: Smart Card.
I'm checking if it is closed. If it is closed then I'm checking if it is Disabled. If it is Disabled then I'm changing its status to Automatic and I'm starting the service. If the service is closed but the status is disabled I'm just open it.
The problem is that on my computer everything is working good, but when I'm trying to use it on other computer, if the service is disabled then everything is fine, but for example if the service is automatic and closed then I'm trying to start it, but I
receive the error which is telling that I don't have permissions.
My questions are:
1.How it is possible to have permissions to change the status from disable to auto and to start the service, but not to start it if the status is already automatic?
2. How can I give the permissions just for that using the code?
Here is the code what I'm using:
Dim controller As New ServiceController("SCardSvr")
If controller.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped) Then
'' getServicesForDomainComputer(Environment.MachineName.ToString())
'' EnsureTransactionManagerStarted(False)
Dim obj As ManagementObject
Dim inParams, outParams As ManagementBaseObject
Dim Result As Integer
obj = New ManagementObject("\.
ootcimv2:Win32_Service.Name='SCardSvr'")
'Change the Start Mode to Automatic
If obj("StartMode").ToString = "Disabled" Then
'Get an input parameters object for this method
inParams = obj.GetMethodParameters("ChangeStartMode")
inParams("StartMode") = "Automatic"
'do it!
outParams = obj.InvokeMethod("ChangeStartMode", inParams, Nothing)
Result = Convert.ToInt32(outParams("returnValue"))
If Result <> 0 Then
Throw New Exception("ChangeStartMode method error code " & Result)
End If
End If
controller.Start()
End If

Is there a .NET way of setting permissions on shared folders?
I would have thought there was a more .NET compliant method than that!

I found how to create a share in C# using the ManagementClass to create an object to reference the Win32_Share class and the ManagementBaseObject class to access the members of the Win32_Share class.My problem is that I want the "Everyone" permissions to default to Read only.When I set the share via Windows Explorer it works fine but the code in my C# application is allowing Full Control and Change permissions along with Read permission.I tried using the DirectorySecurity class but that blows away the Security permissions (under the Security tab)without affecting any Share permissions of the Everyone group (under the Share tab).I don't want to change the Security permissions, I want to change only the Share permission (you know, the permissions that appear when you hit the Permissions button on the Share tab).

Now i'm working with users so for each user there are many permissions like add, update, view and delete, but i was thinking create a bit type data for each authorization, then i would load each one with 0 or 1 and show only the authorized form for the user. Could I do this? or there a better way to do the same?

I have a simple .NET 3.5 app for changing some database fields using an ODBCDataSet. Now the Feature Creep is asking if I can hide or show tabs and other controls based on the user's database permissions. Ideally, I would like to control the permissions only on the SQL Server using Windows user groups, and the app would not have any built-in authentication or permission system--it simply uses the logged-in user's Windows account for the database connection. So thus it would have to "test" the permissions to determine whether or not to show the tabs for the user. For example, if they have "write" permissions to a certain table, then the tab for editing it would be visible; if not, the tab never loads for them. How can I list or test the user's permissions to the ODBCDataSet?

I am troubleshooting a program that normally works, and has worked in the past on the machine I am working with.I am a very novice programmer, I didn't program this myself I am just trying to get it to work.I have done as much research as I can, which has lead me to believe it is permissions problem with the CreateObject command.I have tried a fix in the .net 2.0 machine.config file, changing the processModel user to System, that didn't help.The machine does have norton on it, and norton was installed since the program stopped working. However I have tried disabling norton and running the program. A friend suggested it might be some settings on the computer that Norton changed hence disabling it not helping.Here is the error:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.[code]... When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I am writing an Excel addin to read/insert/update/delete SQL data. I am looking for tips or code samples to check if the user running the addin has select/insert/update/delete permissions. this would work on SQL 2000, 2005 and 2008. I have found the following which works for SQL 2005 (and likely 2008, though I have not tested).
