Platform SDK: Exchange 2000 Server

Privileged Mode

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Your workflow will run in privileged mode, if you configure your design to run in privileged mode and the workflow engine verifies that your design-time objects were authored by someone with proper privileges. The following table summarizes the privileged mode characteristics.

Action Description

Script or COM Actions The workflow actions can be either script or calls to a registered COM object.
No Script Sandboxing The workflow engine will allow the use of CreateObject for any valid classID on the system including the FileSystem object, all CDO/ADO objects, etc.
Script runs as "Workflow System" account. The script host will execute the script under the same Windows 2000 security account as the caller. No impersonation will be done. In the default case for the CDOWF Event Sink, this means the script will be executing under the Workflow System Account context, which typically has full administrative permissions to most Exchange 2000 Server resources.
