SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges and Access Denied error on event receiver. After looksing half a day for a st00pid mistake I have to write about this to warn anyone that might run into similar problem.
In VS I’ve prepared a custom event receiver which needed to be run as system account (for performing actions that the user running the event receiver doesn’t have – like setting permissions, creating subwebs,…) So my code began with something lilke that: public override void ItemUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties) { base.ItemUpdated(properties); _properties = properties; //povišamo pravice na sistemski račun in zaženemo private metodo SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(doSomethingWithThis); } Best Practices: Using Disposable Windows SharePoint Services Objects.
