I'm not sure which newsgroup is the right one for posting this question so
I've posted it here and will wait for feedback.

I have written a Delphi 6 application that (among other things) makes
changes to files on our NT network.  I don't want to explicitly grant access
to these files to my users.  I would like to have my program access another
network account that has the necessary permissions and then make the changes
under that account.  I don't know the correct terminology for this approach
("proxy account"?, "run as"?) so it's been difficult to search the
newsgroups for ideas.  I'd like to avoid using third-party components that
do this(if there are any).  Thanks for your help.

I'd suggest borland.public.delphi.nativeapi.

As Deborah has said, the b.p.d.nativeapi group is the correct one to
post this in.

Check the LogonUser and ImpersonateLoggedOnUser API call.  Give it a
try, and if you can't get it working let me know (in the correct group)
and I'll go through my source tree and post a working example of it.
