I have a Web app running on an Intranet server that impersonates a specific account in order to access the SQL Server database. The app has a link to a Word doc in a secure directory only allowing certain employees access. Problem is that the program is impersonating an account that does not have access to the directory of the Word doc, thus preventing an authorized user from accessing the file. Giving access to the impersonating account is not an option. Is there any way I can provide authorized users access to this file while maintaining the impersonation configuration?

Hi Chadau,
You would need to put the users that are allowed to access the word doc directory into a group that has greater permissions. These would overide any others.
I'll asume you are using Active Directory. Just make a group "WordDocUsers" for example - put the authorised users into this group and give the group permissions on the folder.
Cheers,
