I am trying to grant my user the privileges to create symbolic links.
I ran secpol.msc
and navigated to Local policies
-> User rights assignment
-> Create symbolic links
.
I have added my user's group to the list of allowed entities in the policy and logged out/in.
I have added my user's name to the list of allowed entities in the policy and logged out/in.
I have tried rebooting the computer without any results. Running
mklink <linkname> <file>
in my home directory always gives me You do not have sufficient privileges to perform this operation.
.
I am able to create links if I open a cmd.exe with "Run as administrator".
What could be the reason?
