CAS does not check NT security. It checks the rights of the code to do
certain operations, not the user running the code.

The easiest and most reliable way to check check access to NT protected
resources is to try to open them and catch the UnauthorizedAccessException
that might happen. If you want to do this programmatically, you probably
want to be looking at p/invoke on the AccessCheck API function.
