How to elevate role programmatically

[olivierbousquet]

I am looking for a piece of code to evelate the role programmatically ?

My context is following :

• My app deals with roles and ACLs,
• We are currently developping a plugin to integrate with ServiceNow,
• We use ServiceNow REST APIs to do so :
  1. creation roles with REST API,
  2. modification of ACL (attach a role to an ACL)

To perform 1, everything is fine.

To perform 2, we need first to elevate role to make it possible.

Is it possible to elevate role programmatically ?

Thanks in advance, Olivier

Hello Olivier,

You should be able to update the table sys_security_acl_role table directly with out elevating permissions.
