Hi All,

We are currently working on winforms application. To facilitate installation,WYUpdate etc we have requested the user to have admin rights as a prerequisite. But now the company wants us to make sure that the application can run on standard user profiles. The installation and upgrade will be done by admin user. I have tested the application on standard user account it works well.

I want to know what could be the operations or functions in C# that require admin rights??

I'm not sure is there anyone who can list all operations which require admin rights... As it has been said, security is security[^]...

There are several operations that requires admin rights, for example some operations on files and registry. Please, read this: Understanding Windows File And Registry Permissions[^]
