Re: How to programmingly check off "Allow inheritable permissions from



I never used this library - but if you are targeting .NET 2.0 you can find all the functionality in System.Security.AccessControl

Hi, I am using Microsoft.Win32.Security package(C#) to set the NT
security of specified folder/file.

My purpose is to protect the content of files under a specified folder
from being read by "Users" group members, whereas Users can still list
the name of these files, and tranverse through subfolders.

I have tried the code as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
SecurityDescriptor secDesc =
SecurityDescriptor.GetFileSecurity(strFullPath,
SECURITY_INFORMATION.DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION);
Dacl dacl = secDesc.Dacl;
Sid sidUsers = new Sid ("Users");
dacl.RemoveAces(sidUsers);
FileAccessType FAType = FileAccessType.READ_CONTROL |
FileAccessType.FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES | FileAccessType.FILE_READ_EA;
dacl.AddAce (new AceAccessAllowed (sidUsers,
(AccessType)FAType,AceFlags.CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE |
AceFlags.OBJECT_INHERIT_ACE));
DirectoryAccessType DAType = DirectoryAccessType.FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY |
DirectoryAccessType.FILE_TRAVERSE;
dacl.AddAce (new AceAccessAllowed (sidUsers, (AccessType)DAType,
AceFlags.CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE | AceFlags.INHERITED_ACE));
secDesc.SetDacl(dacl);
secDesc.SetFileSecurity(strFullPath,
SECURITY_INFORMATION.DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION);
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
The code just worked as expected -- I mean just as what I manually set
when
testing the security setting. However, by running the code, objects
under the
folder just keep their security setting -- inherit from much upper
parent
objects...
I think the only difference is that when manually setting the
security, I firstly check off the "Allow inheritable permissions from
the parent to propagate to this object and all child objects" in the
Advanced Security Setting dialog. By doing so, all objects under the
folder will change to inherit their security from this folder,
expectably. So, is it possible to implement this CheckOff in C#
programming?

Best regards,
Timothy Hu
