Hello there,
at the moment I am creating an application for desktopcomputers in offices. A user shall be abled to create tasks with the application on a specific server. But no user should have adminrights on the server. So I will create a adminuser on the server which I want to run the programm with.
So how can I set a user the program will run with?

My english isnt that good yet, I apologize.
