POHow can "Modified By" be changed when using RunWithElevatedPrivileges?
text
Body
copied!<p>We have a web part that uploads a document to a document library. The user uploading the document may not have access to the destination location, so the code adding the file executes within a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsecurity.runwithelevatedprivileges.aspx" rel="noreferrer">RunWithElevatedPrivileges</a> block. This means the "Modified By" field is always set to System Account. Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges( delegate { using (SPSite elevatedSite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url)) using (SPWeb targetWeb = elevatedSite.OpenWeb(webUrl)) { targetWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; SPFile newFile = files.Add(filename, file); SPListItem item = newFile.Item; // TODO: Insert code to set Modified By item.SystemUpdate(); } } } </code></pre> <p>The "Modified By" field needs to be set to the name of the current user (at the TODO line above), but none of the following attempts have worked:</p> <pre><code>item["Modified By"] = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser; item["Author"] = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser; item["Modified By"] = new SPFieldUserValue( SPContext.Current.Web, SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.ID, SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Name); item["Author"] = new SPFieldUserValue( SPContext.Current.Web, SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.ID, SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Name); </code></pre> <p>Does anyone know of a solution that allows the "Modified By" value to be changed?</p>
