Pete -
it sounds like you are talking about assigning ACLs to file/folder objects.
Unfortunately in the current version this functionality is not supported. I
have however heard of samples available on the net that do it by calling
directly into Win32 API using DllImport. The FileIOPermission class is a
part of Code Access Security, which is based on assigning permissions to
code rather than resources.
Hope this helps.
