[2005] Understanding Admin Rights To Config

[jeffnyc]

The xml config file in the bin/release or bin/debug folders store the application scoped settings. To my knowledge these settings are read only at runtime, unless you have admin rights and write to the xml file directly.

If I create my project on a pc called jeffpc then if you go into the security tab of the file properties of the config file you will see something like Administrators (jeffpc\administrators).

My question is when I install it on a client machine , say clientpc, will administrators on that machine automatically have rights or will I have to explicity grant permission because now they are in the group clientpc\administrators instead of jeffpc\administrators?

By default, administrator account has full control on pretty much everything but some system files... So when you install your application on clientpc machine, the clientpc\administrators group will automatically have full control of the file.
