How can I create/edit/add folder permission to specific folder? There is a folder called "test" in local disk C. How do I set permission to that folder using C#?
I wrote some code already:
public void getusers()
{
SelectQuery squery = new SelectQuery("Win32_UserAccount", "Domain='" + System.Environment.UserDomainName.ToString() + "'");
try
{
ManagementObjectSearcher msearchar = new ManagementObjectSearcher(squery);
foreach (ManagementObject mobject in msearchar.Get())
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(mobject["Name"]);
}
}
catch (Exception e) { MessageBox.Show(e.ToString()); }
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog();
fbd.ShowDialog();
textBox1.Text = fbd.SelectedPath.ToString();
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DirectoryInfo myDirectoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(textBox1.Text);
DirectorySecurity myDirectorySecurity = myDirectoryInfo.GetAccessControl();
string User = System.Environment.UserDomainName + "\\" + comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
myDirectorySecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(User, FileSystemRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Allow));
//myDirectorySecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(User, FileSystemRights.Write, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Allow));
myDirectoryInfo.SetAccessControl(myDirectorySecurity);
MessageBox.Show("Permissions Altered Successfully" + User);
}
This code already successfully adds the User to the folder but the permissionIi set to that folder is not inherited at all. Did I miss something? Or could someone guide me how to inherit the permission to that folder?
