You want to grant it from the installer or your application? To who you want to grant access? But here you have a sample, I hope it covers your problem:

Is the dll not needed during application uninstall? The linked solution does not require any external dll.

Why you want to give full permission. It is not advisable.
But if you want to Look this.

You have to add manifest file in your application.
