Remarks

For C++ development, see RunLevel Property of IPrincipal.

For script development, see Principal.RunLevel.

If a task is registered using the Builtin\Administrator account or the LocalSystem or LocalService accounts, the RunLevel property is ignored. The attribute value will also be ignored if User Account Control (UAC) is turned off.

If a task is registered using the Administrators group for the security context of the task, then you must also set the RunLevel property to "HighestAvailable" to run the task. For more information, see Security Contexts for Tasks.
