UserPermissions required to use Core Service?

Question

This code works nicely when I have "Administrator" privileges...

string item = "tcm:12-31-64";
if (this.client.IsExistingObject(item))
{
    this.client.Read(item, new ReadOptions(););
}

...but when I do not, the IsExistingOject call succeeds, but the Read call fails.

My system administrator does not want me to have "Administrator" priviliges just to use Core Service. I can successfully read the item through a browser, so it seems the missing privileges are between "accessing through browser" and "accessing through Core Service.

Any ideas what the additional permissions required are? Is there a built-in group(s) I need to be a part of?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You have not impersonated the Core service client call with your Identity.

As per my experience, I won't suggest to use administrator access to impersonate and do processing the request.

Example:

SessionAwareCoreServiceClient ProxyClient = new SessionAwareCoreServiceClient("wsHttp_2011");
ProxyClient.Impersonate(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);
