SharePoint 2010 - You must have manage user profiles administrator rights to use administrator mode.

Goal

As the error metions the user should be "Admin in User Profile Service". The error comes when a user try to update a profile(other user's profile). Please read my last blog for more clarification SharePoint 2010 - Update user's infomation using UserProfileManager programmatically.

Fix

  • SharePoint 2010 Central Administration
  • Application Management > Manage Service Applications
  • Select the "User Profile Service Application" tab. On the top you can find an option of "Administrators".
  • Apply the user you are using in the Administrators and give rights to the user. I am using "Administrator" as a user.
  • Let me know if this is helpfull.

  1. Not helpful, running my code in a RunWithElevatedPrivileges block, loaded SPSite and Context and UserProfileManager objects inside this block, added the system account with full control as you described, and still the same error.
