Re: Check access permissions on a file/folder

Hello,

it's quite complicated to do this check manually since a security token can
have be restricted (deny-only group membership and so on). Additionally,
some security identifiers are bound to a machine (local administrator and so
on).

The only real method to check if a use has a set of permissions is to open
the file.

If you want to check only local files, you can however use P/Invoke and call
AccessCheck (in advapi32.dll). See the MSDN documentation on this function
for more.

Greetings,
Henning Krause

Does .NET 2.0 provide an easy way to programatically determine if a user
has
permissions to access a particular file or folder? If yes, code snippets
would be greatly appreciated.
