How to run a executable as guest or limited user using java ProcessBuilder

Question

Lets say I'm running as admin and I have ac executable as 'myProgram.exe'. I want to execute it using ProcessBuilder in my java program.

eg

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("myProgram.exe");
pb.start(); 

How can I execute 'myProgram.exe' as a less privileged user or guest user?

Why I want to do this?

Let say the exe (myProgram.exe) tries to delete some files that it should not delete or perform some other activities, Then running it under a less privileged user will not allow it do above things.

Basically I want to run this 'myProgram.exe' in a jail or with less privileges.

How can I execute 'myProgram.exe' as a less privileged user programmatically?

Answer 1

Well, you need a sand box then.. It is an executable that executes another executable in an under-privileged settings..
