As SharePoint developers, we all use the SharePoint (server) object model. If your code is executing in a Web context, i.e., in the w3wp.exe process space, you don’t have to read on. But if you are writing server-side tools running as console/win forms applications or PowerShell scripts, you MUST be aware of the following:
I’m almost at a point where I think it is completely unsafe to write any sort of code similar to what I describe above if you can’t ensure that your code WON’T trigger ANY event handlers/workflows written a third party. Microsoft states that the code must be executing under an administrator account and I wouldn’t try to tweak this since we don’t know anything about the third-party code that will be executing. In theory though, I don’t see how it won’t be enough to be running as an account member of the WSS_ADMIN_WPG group. But anything LESS than this won’t work UNLESS you know EVERYTHING about ANY code that might execute. If you don’t know what events/workflows will be triggered, I would strongly advise you to use the Web Services / client-side object model instead. Now events and workflows will be executing in w3wp.exe. |
