Folder permission:how to run custom action as 'another user'

redbull

Hi all, I'll try to explain my problem.
In Alfresco I have two user group each of one have permission to different spaces:
GROUP1 (USER1, USER2, USER3), (SpaceA, SpaceB)
GROUP2 (USER4, USER5) (SpaceC, SpaceE)

I write a custom action applied to GROUP1 spaces that, at the end, should move the content to GROUP2 specific space (SpaceC):

nodeService.moveNode(actionedUponNodeRef, targetNodeRef,
                 ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS, ContentModel.ASSOC_CHILDREN);
‍‍‍‍

But GROUP1 users don't have "folder permissions" on GROUP2 spaces to execute moveNode method.
Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this? (something like "runas" admin user…)
Thanks!

Go look at:
http://code.google.com/p/alfresco-developer-guide/source/browse/tags/ch7_3.4_community/client-extensions/src/java/com/someco/behavior/Rating.java#104

Which shows how to use AuthenticationUtil.runAs() to run some code as admin.

Jeff, your suggest has been a great help!
Here is the code:

   protected void moveContent(final NodeRef contentRef, final NodeRef targetRef) {
      AuthenticationUtil.runAs(new RunAsWork<String>() {
         @SuppressWarnings("synthetic-access")
         public String doWork() throws Exception {
            // move content to target folder
            nodeService.moveNode(contentRef, targetRef,
                    ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS, ContentModel.ASSOC_CHILDREN);
            if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Move set");
            return "";
         }
      },
      "admin");
   }

Thank you very much.
