Permissions - Code Is Not Running On Restricted User On PC
Feb 27, 2009
I have some code that queries all the printers on our print server and returns a list. I need this code to work so please don't reply with comments asking why I am using it when you can simply type \Server to list the printers (I know this, but need the code to work as part of a larger application). When running the following code on an IT PC with admin rights, it works. When running on a restricted user PC, it doesn't. How can I add permissions in code to elevate the EXE to 'run as administrator'? [Code]

I recently found this code (provided for third party use on another VB site), however,ll of my attempts to insert it into a class library have failed.I open a new class library and past the code in, and immediately get several errors pertaining to how certain objects can't be found. I find it it is crucial to use this code, unless someone can suggest to me another example of existing code that will do the same thing: make a restricted textbox who imputs can be restricted, that can handle pasting, shortcuts, text property setting, and script-entered text.
Option Strict On
Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class RestrictedTextBox

I have a window service that Inherits System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase. While running in debug mode (havent tested compiled), the thread does not see the current user credentials. I need the credentials so I can set up the WebProxy and I would prefer to use the account that service is running under instead of passing the user and pwd as a string.Can someone help me figure out why the code running in the class the inherits from ServiceBase does not have have the credentials of the logged in user?

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 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).
Use AdventureWorks
Go
SELECT * FROM fn_my_permissions('Sales.vIndividualCustomer', 'OBJECT');

I've developed a Windows Form application that contains a function where a user will query AD using a users last name in an attempt to get a list of all domain users that contain all or part of the last name. This function works well if the user is an administrator, however in some cases a department manager, who only exist in the Domain User AD group, needs to use this function. When the user with only Domain User rights uses the function all queries come back empty. I can take the same application to another domain and user with just Domain User rights can use the function just fine.
I assume that the first domain that I mentioned might be using Group Policy to prevent Domain Users from making a query against AD.
Is it truly a Group Policy or some other setting within the domain that prevents this?
The current administrator of the first domain I spoke of is fairly new and has no idea of the workings of AD or Group Policy. All domains that I mentioned here I believe are running Windows 2003 Domains.

I am creating a multi-user application using VB 2005 Pro and SQL Server 2005.I would like to know what your ideas are when it comes to managing user permissions in regard to being able to view, add, edit and delete information in the database? Do you think I should have the end user type in the information into the VB application which then will create an SQL server user and then apply permissions to that security user or should I fine-grain the application by allowing groups to be created and then assigning permissions and users to those groups?

I'm writing and application that creates a home folder for a given user. I can set the permissions fine, but on some of the folders I need to remove a specific group/user, "Everyone" would be an example for one of the folders. I can make it so that they are denied from all the permissions on the folder, but I can't actually get the group/user remove.

I'm creating an application that works with another I have no control over. My application needs to be able to create a user and change share permissions. Currently I am able to make a share, but I can't figure out how to set access permissions for that share.
The idea is that the newly created user (w/ password) will have permissions on the share I create.

I've been struggling for hours now to get some working code to list the share permissions of a remote share. I've got WMI code which uses win32_share which lists the shares and path and it works great. I"m now trying to add in a routine to get the share permissions as well.
I've searched just about every site for some sample code and can only find some C# (I think) code.

This program is a small ADOX database with a single data entry Form. Originally written in VB 2005, it was copied into the VB 2008 Project folder. Opening the file in the IDE, it went through the Conversion process, nevertheless, because of the following error detailed below, the program will not accept any changes.
Error List: Warning 1 Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store. AppointmentsMissed (<the project's name) Under Security in the project's Properties Window these suggestions are made: Visual Studio was unable to determine the Code Access Security (CAS) permissions that are applicable to your project. The most likely cause is that your project references a strongly-named assembly that defines custom permissions, but that is not properly installed in the global assembly cache (GAC).
To correct this, try the following: 1. Ensure that any custom permissions defining assemblies referenced by your project have been properly installed to the GAC. If any of these assemblies have been rebuilt or have had their version numbers modified, you must install the new assemblies in the GAC. 2. Restart Visual Studio.

I'm running an application under an account that is not the account logged-on to the PC.
Within the application I need check if the logged-on user is a member of the Administrators group. Below is the code I'm using. From what I've read, WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() should return an object associated with the logged-on user. It doesn't, it returns the same information as the call to System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal. Which is the information associated to the ID running the application, not the logged-on user.

I have an application which is running off multiple user desktops (app is in vb.net/vs 2008). The application pulls its data from an SQL 2005 Server (which holds all of the main data tables as well as a bunch of reference tables). So for different projects, the application pulls in data from the main tables... ie, Project ID, Project Cost...and so on.. The data is contained by ID's and when the data is imported into the application, the look up tables are used to convert the ID's to names.. so instead of project ID, the user would see the actual project name. Before the data is written back to the db, it is converted back to ID's ... anyways, there are a bunch of these look up tables, (for vendors, different expenditure codes, projects, sub projects.
