Removal of $LLIAPI.UsersPkg.GetAdminCookie() in 9.5

Hi, We have a custom module that used the method above, however, that method seems to have been removed for 9.5. If a module needs to perform an action as Admin under the covers (i.e. the user isn't logged in as Admin) what's the recommended way to handle that now?ThanksDawn

Have a look at $WebProspector.Utils.GetPrgCtx.

Hi Hans, Thanks for the tip, however I'm not sure it'll work for us - in our case we were calling the $LLIAPI.UsersPkg.GetAdminCookie() method and then grabbing the Admin user name and password out of the cookie. I'm unclear how I can get the same information via the Prgctx

What you need is a prgCtx for another user. Everything done with that prgCtx will be done as that user.

From the prgCtx you can get the DapiCtx and UAPIsession.

Actually, what we need is the Admin user, as we have an object we've changed between versions of our module and we need to access the database, look for any old versions of this object, and upgrade them if we find any. ThanksDawn

With the prgCtx of the Admin user, you can get the dbSession for the Admin user, the CAPICONNECT for the Admin, etc. So you can do everything as the admin user, as long as you get everything via the prgCtx of the Admin user.
