Privileges elevation on DSM7

Viewed 327

We’re editor of backup software, and migration from DSM6 to DSM7 has increased security: now declaring a package running with root privileges is forbidden (except for those written by Synology itself ).
Backup software supposes a full access to all filesystem and with DSM7 I can’t find any way to do so:

  • "defaults": { "run-as": "root" } (in conf/privileges) is not allowed anymore
  • requesting membership to root or administrators groups is not allowed either

When asking on Synology forum, I am redirected to developpers page or DSM developper manual .

I am currently out of ideas; I may have missed something somewhere, so is there any way to ask for privileges elevation on DSM7?
