Tony,

The only 2 things you need for CF to do this is:

1. CF to be running as an account that has access to the network share.
Local accounts don't have this, so you'd need a domain account or
something.
2. The account that CF is running as needs the access that Dave Watts
described in his post.

I wouldn't go with any more or less than what is described above.  Sure
it's easier to just make the user a local admin, but that opens your
server up completely to CF so that if CF is compromised, the whole
server is compromised.

It gets different permissions :-)

I think others have sufficiently explained why this usually is not a
good idea. So maybe it is a good idea to take a step back and share the
problem that you want to solve with us, instead of presenting a
(dubious) solution.

What is the problem that needs solving?
