Least Privilege User Account (LUA)

[JoshuaBarnette]

I need to elevate certain applications, when launched, to run with an elevated (administrator level) security token. The token swap can happen on the fly or as an application wrapper.

I have looked at several applications and find them ok, one even stands out above the rest, however my company is in extreme cost savings and are unable/unwilling to spend the money.

I have seen Functions such as _Security__CreateProcessWithToken and _Security__AdjustTokenPrivileges, but I am still relatively new to AutoIT and am not sure how to utilize some of the advanced features.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Joshua Barnette

Not certain of what you are asking but you can take a look

Also take a look as RunAs() native function.

John,

I appreciate the quick response I have seen that posting when searching for a solution before I posted the question. That seems to deal with UAC and those permissions versus actually passing an elevated token, which would give the process admin rights even if the logged on account doesn't have them. Something that may help is to take a look at ViewFinity Privilege Management or BeyondTrust PowerBroker Desktops.

Thanks Again.

JoshuaBarnette,

You can look at them all you like, but advertising them here is not permitted.

I apologize if you think I was advertising, I was not intending to, only to show the functionality I was looking for.

JoshuaBarnette,

No problem. It just looked as if you were,.

As a side note, I use your "RecFileListToArray" on a near daily basis, it is a fabulous bit of code.
