dotnet core app run as administrator

Question

I have a dotnet console application that requires administrator privileges to run. I can't find how to do this. In a regular project I would add a app.manifest and set

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />

but I can't figure how to embed this in the build.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

I found the simplest workaround would be to add the app.manifest file with the setting like what in net framework app

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" /> 

then on your net core project file (.csproj in C# project) add the following:

<PropertyGroup>   <ApplicationManifest>app.manifest</ApplicationManifest> </PropertyGroup>
