Developing Applications that Require Administrator Privilege
It is possible to develop an application that performs operations that require administrator privilege yet runs as a standard user.
There are several models for accomplishing this.
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Elevated Task Model | An application running as a standard user performs operations that require administrator privilege by starting a scheduled task. |
| Operating System Service Model | An application running as a standard user communicates with a service running as SYSTEM by using Remote Procedure Call (RPC). |
| Administrator Broker Model | The application is divided into two programs. One of the programs runs as a standard user, and the other runs with administrator privilege. |
| Administrator COM Object Model | An application running as a standard user performs operations that require administrator privilege by creating an elevated Component Object Model object. |
