This property dialog allows you to choose run an action as another user. This option is only available for actions which run an external process. The dialog appears when you click the ellipsis (...) edit button on the Runtime property page.

Run Action As User

By setting the Username and Password, FinalBuilder will attempt to run this particular action under a different user account.  There are many security requirements that need to be met before Windows will allow this, the minimum requirements are detailed below.  You may need to ask your System Administrator if you still cannot get past the security errors.

The following security privileges must be granted for a process to be run under a different users login:

Windows 2000:

   

Windows XP and Server 2003

Note that changing security privileges may compromise system security policies. Please ensure that your system is secure before and after modifying these settings.

One way of testing that the security requirements are met and that your username and password are correct is to use the Execute Program action to run the WhoAmI.exe program which is usually located in C:\Windows\System32\WhoAmI.exe

When this is run under a different user, the log will contain the username that the action successfully ran under.

Troubleshooting:

Invalid username or password

If the current user is not a domain account, and the impersonation account is set to a domain account then authentication fails.

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.

This message box appears if the user who you are impersonating has incorrect privileges.  Try making the user part of the administration group to solve this problem.
