Feature request: Allow specifying FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS optionally when opening files

GroupDocs.Search Product Family

Hello there,

We have a feature request:

We’d like to be able to extract files you usually don’t have access to, via the backup privilege, which seems to not be possible with GroupDocs.Search at the moment.

With Win32, it’s possible to call AdjustTokenPrivileges to acquire the backup privilege for the current process.

After that, it’s possible to read files you don’t usually have access to when specifying the flag “FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS” (Win32).

The file-reading happens in GroupDocs code, so we want to ask whether it might be possible to implement something that allows us to specify that the flag “FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS” shall be used whenever a file is opened during the extraction.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask!

Best regards
jamsharp
