Unable to Access a folder with code.

Vote:
 

I am trying to access a VPP folder through Job-Subscription.

This folder do not have EVERYONE access rights defined in FileManagement, and as Job-Scheduler needs Everyone access to explore this folder through code it fails. and gives error as "Dont have sufficient access to this folder".

UnifiedDirectory dir = HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.GetDirectory(VirtualPath) as UnifiedDirectory;

How will you give BYPASSACCESSCHECK to a Unifieddirectory as the above statement gives error.

An alternative solution could be to impersonate a user with sufficient permissions in the scheduled job,

Hi Nitin.

You can get the UnifedDirectory by giving bypass access check this way:

UnifiedDirectory dir = EPiServer.Web.Hosting.VirtualPathHandler.Instance.GetDirectory("virtualPath", true) as UnifiedDirectory; 
if(dir != null) 
{
// Do your stuff
}

But the best way is probably to impersonate as Johan says. Look at Erik Nordin`s blog for a great example on impersonation in a scheduled job. http://antecknat.se/blog/2009/03/04/scheduled-tasks-tips/ 

Hope this helps!

Br, Tore
