It seems that one needs to be Admin to use fbwfmgr or access to the Api?

From a limited account I only get "The handle is invalid" as result to calls
to the Api...

Does anyone know which access right exactly is needed?
 
You must have administrative rights to use FBWFMGR, EWFMGR, adn the API
sets. Power User accounts on down cannot control FBWF or EWF.

Thanks for the reply, that´s like it seemed to me: I need to
LogonUser/Impersonate (an admin user) in order to use it from an application
running with limited rights...
 
Strange enough: Using LogonUser+ImpersonateLoggedOnUser (using an admin) from
a limited account works for all BUT the FindFirst... functions?!?
Any ideas why these calls fail???
 
NOW! Here is the deal:

There is a flag checked by "FbwfFindFirst" (why only this function?) and
this flag is NOT set if the library (fbwfapi.dll) is loaded without admin
rights. Now this is a problem when statically linking the DLL...

=> the DLL must be loaded with LoadLibrary and
LogonUser+ImpersonateLoggedOnUser must be called BEFORE loading it.
Only then FbwfFindFirst works (from an appliaction started from a limited
account).

Why this only concerns FbwfFindFirst?

Bug or Feature? Anybody form MS able to answer this question?
