RunAs a different user when debugging in Visual Studio
05/08/2016 18:23
Whether you need to open an app using two different credentials, you can do it following these steps:
By DOS - Command Line:
command.com /C runas /env /user:OtherUser DebugTarget.Exe
- Hold SHIFT key and right-click to open a new instance of Visual Studio.
- Click "run as different user"
- Enter credentials of the other user in the next pop-up window
- Open the same solution you are working with
Now when you debug the solution it will be with the other user's permissions.
(Hint: if you are going to run multiple instances of Visual Studio, change the theme of it (like to "dark") so you can keep track of which one is which easily).
