Summary: Test for Root fails even if the process has no root
privileges
Product: Akonadi
Version: 4.4
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Version: (using Devel)
Compiler: mingw32
OS: MS Windows
Installed from: Compiled sources
The Akonadi self test testRootUser fails on Windows if the process is started
by an user with administrative privileges (eg. default Windows User) even when
the process itself has no "admin privileges"
I don't know the behaviour on Windows NT < 6.0 (before Vista) but with User
Account Control a process started by an administrator does not have full system
access.
On Windows NT >= 6.0 there could be a check for the process integrity level.
For more information:

Although i would argue that such a test does not really make sense on Windows
because the user has either disabled access control or explicitly started
akonadi with higher privileges.
