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.
