Compares an Environment Variable of a process to a specified value


Image Added
Most users will never create their own versions of these filters and will only use the two we have defined.
Manual Application Compatibility Setting will probably not be used by any customers, but for those who would implement it, it targets any application that is forced to run in compatibility mode. For example, if you right-click on an application on your computer and then click properties and then compatibility, if you then select "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP" you are making it so whenever you now launch that application the environmental variable "__COMBAT_LAYER" Is added to the application. A customer would use this filter to detect any application that is being run in compatibility mode.
User Requested Run as Administrator filter is used to catch when a user right-clicks an application and then selects Arellia's "Request Run As Administrator" (see http://portal.arellia.com/wiki/display/ACS71DOC/Self-Elevation ). This filter is used in the built-in "User Requested Elevation Justification Policy" which will then show a justification message box and then elevate the application. Customers can clone this ACS Policy and create several different policies for specific user groups, thus VIPs can justify and elevate, and normal users will only be able to send a justification but not elevate. (that's just one example of how they could set it up).
