What account do COM+ components run under when regasm is used?

Question

What account do COM+ components run under when registered via the regasm tool? I didn't notice any command parameters for regasm to identify the account. Given regasm requires admin privileges to run, I'm assuming COM+ components run w/admin privs as well?

Answer 1

What language is your component written in? if it's in .NET you can set assembly attributes that can control the security configuration of your COM+ application.

I don't know of any command parameters for regasm that can give you permissions. if you will be more specific about what you are trying to do, I might be able to help you.
