But you don't have permissions, so how is code going to get around permissions? You either need to run code with permissions or have your hoster change permissions for you.

I dont have any exprience with servers however if it is C# I will recommend you to have a look on these APIs

Also if your code hasn't got that much of access then you can try taking token for some higher privileged account.(But I dont know its side effects)
