How to grant access rights
-
Hi all, I have a program that runs as a service somewhere on a server. It communicates with a console-type program (possibly on another machine within the network) by means of a messages file. The file is created by the service (because there may be multiple console programs running) However, the service is started by an administrator. Due to this, the console programs do not have access rights to the messages file. It works fine if I create the file manually (the service only creates if it does not exist) but if the file for some reason gets deleted, the consoles are no longer able to add their messages into the file. Is there a way in which I can grant full control rights to all users from the service program after creating the file? Anyone? Please? Thanks in advance, William

Sorry this doesn't answer your question, but I'd recommend instead you have a network group that has the create and write permissions and then ensure the administrator and other users are members of that group.

Which is indeed what I advised my clients. However, there are several clients using this software and if there is one thing I learned over the years: Sysadmins will ALWAYS have their own thoughts on how to organise and authorize their users! William

Ah yes, clients, users and sysadmins. The nemesis of our existence. :) It might be possible at the folder level to allow full control to network access and to have that access flow to sub-folders. That might override the local adminstrator account when it creates the file.
