Save absences with JazzAdmins privileges using the Server Side API

 Hi everybody,

Currently, the absences can only be set by the users with JazzAdmins privileges, but we need that users with JazzUsers privileges and specific roles can also set the absences through the Web UI or the Eclipse UI. Is there a way to perform the save action with JazzAdmins privileges using the Server API?

I appreciate your answers.

Thanks in advance,

as I mentioned in the original topic, I don't think it is possible to bypass the security model.

U might be able to get a new application to work with a crazy dual application model, but not the standard application..

crazy model

new ui  ----->   web app on same app server as rtc (or nearby)
web ap uses client apis to logon to RTC  as special jazzadmin user
normal client apis to change data

Yes, you are right. It is not possible to bypass the security model. Then, I decided to develop a web service using the Client API, so the privileges are not a problem anymore. 


Thanks, Sam! 

You could use the API and code in a special technical user with the required permissions. But you can not bypass the security model.
