Anonymous access and elevated privileges
Accessing a SharePoint site or web with elevated privileges can be achieved in two ways. By passing a SPUserToken or with RunWithElevatedPrivileges. string currentWebUrl = SPContext.Current.Web.Url;
SPSite _siteElevated;
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate { _siteElevated = new SPSite(currentWebUrl); });
_siteElevated = new SPSite(currentWebUrl, SPContext.Current.Site.SystemAccount.UserToken);
<p> As anonymous visitor you will not be able to access SPContext.Current.Site.SytemAccount.UserToken. So use SPSecurity to get elevated objects if you have anonymous access enabled. </p> Technorati Tags: SharePoint
