Description

If a json file is prepared with a package specific variable which contains generation of a temporary folder via 'New-NxtTemporaryFolder' this stops the script with error when running the user part, because a user cannot set required permissions of this temporary folder newly generated under system drive.

example in json file:

"PackageSpecificVariablesRaw": [
{
  "Name": "neoTmpFolder",
  "Value": "$(New-NxtTemporaryFolder)",
  "ExpandVariables": true
}

possible solution:

• prevent runnig this CMDlet as user at all (because this expected folder is to prevent any write actions for other users then system/admin accounts!) or alternatively
• prevent subtask of setting permissions in CMDlet when running as user (but in this case a regular folder may be created by CMDlet new-folder ?!) -> But log a message about prevented actions.
