StartProcess doesn't run in protected mode

StartProcess doesn't run in protected mode, but what if clients are reluctant to turn protected mode off? Are there any settings where I can specify that my plugin should be allowed to call StartProcess, even if protected mode is on?

 

Cheers

I don't know specifically if "StartProcess" can be run from protected mode, but if it could run, then it would be with a Sandbox Broker:

Refer to the documentation:
