  How to allow Admin access to all directories with User Isolation Reply Contact I have the server setup with user isolation enabled. I also have a .NET application that needs to spin through the user directories and retrieves their files. So I was thinking of creating an admin account that can access all directories so that my .NET app can log in using that. I can't seem to find any resource to create such an account. Is there a way to achive this goal?  Thanks.

  Re: How to allow Admin access to all directories with User Isolation Reply Contact New site. I thought I marked that as the "Answer". Does it not show up? Btw, I tried you solution. I created an account and gave it full directory level permissions. I also ensured it had read,write access at the site level. But I tried to connect using a client, I'd get "home directory not accessible" message. Maybe what you meant was create a home directory for the admin, but since it has full access to the root site, it would be able to navigate up to other users' directories?

LOL, and ya it showed as answer!!! For Vdir case, not really what you doing. the admin still has its own folder say 'AdminC' folder, however we created a vdir which point back to the root path. so after AdminC logged in, he/she need to navigate 'cd xxx' to the vdir.
