User vs Application access to Directory

We are creating an application to serve as interface between files located in a specific network directory and database information about the files.

To ensure that files are only added or deleted the application, we want to restrict write access to the directory to an application id only. Individual users will have read only access to the directory.

When executing a 'copy' or 'move' function via MS Access, is it possible to use an application id with its associated directory rights as opposed to using the users id with its associated access rights?
