Execution Level
|
Specifies the execution level for your application.
- As Invoker: select this option to run your application with the same access token as the parent process. Use this option for standard user applications.
- Refactor the app with internal elevation points.
- Highest Available: select this option to run your application with the highest privileges the user can obtain. Use this option for mixed-mode applications.
- Refactor the application in a future release.
- Require Administrator: select this option for your application to require administrator permissions. The application runs only for administrators and requires that the application is launched with the full access token of an administrator.
- Use it for administrator-only applications. Internal elevation points are not necessary, the application is already running elevated.
For more information on which option suits your application best, see Requested Execution Levels on Windows Dev Center.
Select UI Access if you want your application to bypass the user interface protection levels and drive input to higher-permission windows on the desktop.
