Using RunWithElevatedPrivileges or SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges

"RunWithElevatedPrivileges" method accepts a delegate code which wants to run with administrator’s privileges, actually the code runs under the application pool identity, which is mainly site collection administrator.

Sample code shows the item updated code which runs in the SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges

Code:

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

            {

                SPSite mySite = new SPSite(“site url”);//mention site url

                 mySite.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

                 SPWeb spweb = mySite.OpenWeb();

                 spweb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

                 SPList myList = spweb.Lists[“Demo List”];

                 SPListItem spNewItem = myList.Items.Add();

                 spNewItem["Title"] = “Test Title”;

                 spNewItem.Update();

});
