I have a Windows Service which runs as a special account with necessary
permission. I have another client account with very little permission.

We want to write a GUI program to communicate with the Windows Service from
client account.

The reason we want to do this: there are log files, client certificates, and
other sensitive information that we don't want to let client have access.
But, we DO want to give client the ability to have limited access to these
information defined by our program.

Question:
1. How will the access control be enforced? For example: I want to call a
function of theWindwos Service to read/write a file, which the client
account has no access to. But, we want to show the client a piece of
information in the file through our program;

2. Is there detailed documentation of implementing Interop between a service
and client program?

Thanks,
Guogang
