network folder

Post by inseption86 » 29 May 2023, 04:51

I have a network folder with permissions. The user account is limited, is it possible in the script that the user will run - to register credentials so that the script has access to the network folder?

Are you asking if it’s possible for the script to have permission that the user’s Windows account doesn’t have?

I don’t know the answer, but just wanted to clarify that and point out that if it’s possible, then the user of the script would have full access to the drive if they know a little AHK.

I think the user is unlikely to dig into the '.exe'

OK. That’s up to you. I don’t know how important the security of that drive is, and this would open a hole in it.
