Hi
I want to create content database programatically. I have tried using SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges code but it gives Access Denied exception. The site is created using claim based authentication.

Below is my code:

C#

SPSite site=SPContext.Current.Site;
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
  {
      using (SPSite elevatedSite = new SPSite(site.ID))
        {
            SPWebApplication elevatedWebApp = elevatedSite.WebApplication;
            elevatedWebApp.ContentDatabases.Add(serverName, dbName, null, null, 0, 1, 1);
        }
  });

Thanks

Solution 1

Generally, the code will not run within elevated privilege if the object accessed was not created within the SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges block OR the implementation is not giving privileges to right user account handling the code execution.

Look at similar discussions here:
Access denied when code is executed remotely as a wcf service[^]
Access denied within SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges[^]
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges - an important point while using it in web context[^]

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for your reply.

I have changed my code still it is throughing access denied error. But when i run this code using central admin site its working fine. May be the problem is FBA authentication. If you have any solution please send it.

Below is my code:

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite elevatedSite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID))
{
using (SPWeb web = elevatedSite.OpenWeb(SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.ID))
{
SPContentDatabase currentSiteDatabase = web.Site.ContentDatabase;

SPWebApplication elevatedWebApp = web.Site.WebApplication;
elevatedWebApp.ContentDatabases.Add(currentSiteDatabase.Server, dbName, null, null, 0, 1, 1);
}
}
});

Thanks

You need to authorize the site to run with elevated privileges. Did you also check out the links of Sandeep Mewara?

Solution 2

You SPSite variable is outside the elevated block. It also needs to be included, like this:

C#

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() {
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID)) {
        using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.ID)) {
            // ...
        }
    }
});

Good luck!
