Sharepoint tips – Update Created By/Modified by user with logged in user

Normally, we run code under elevated previleges that takes System User account in created by modified by. If we want to reflect Created By/Modifed by with logged in user, you have to specify UserToken while opening site.

SPUserToken loggedInUserToken = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.UserToken;

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite objSite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Url,loggedInUserToken))
{
using (SPWeb objWeb = objSite.OpenWeb())
{
objWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPListItem lstItem= listItemCollection.Add();
lstItem["Foo"] = “Bar”
lstItem.Update();
