The next sections explain how you can launch applications with administrator permissions in Windows. If the tested application has administrator privileges, TestComplete must also have administrator privileges. If the tested application has user privileges, TestComplete can have either user or administrator privileges. To test your application, TestComplete must have the same or higher privileges than the application you are testing has:
For example, if TestComplete is run with user permissions and a tested application is run with administrator permissions, TestComplete will not be able to see the application’s windows and controls and to obtain properties of the application’s process. TestComplete can only “see” and interact with an application if it has the same or a higher level of security permissions than the application. When TestComplete is launched from a user account, it will not have access to some application processes, since administrator privileges are required for this.Įven if TestComplete and your tested application are running under the same user account, they may have different security permissions under Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later Windows versions. However, some changes in the security model may cause the test engine to malfunction:Įven if you log in to Windows using an administrator account, the applications that you will execute will not necessarily have administrator rights.
In order to test applications on these Windows versions, TestComplete must have the same or higher privileges than those of the applications under test. Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and later Windows versions provide a new security level, which is higher than that in previous versions of Windows.
