This constructor retrieves the access control information for the specified file and then creates a FileSecurity object that encapsulates that information. You can then inspect, add, or delete the access control information for the specified file.

You can add access or audit rules to the FileSecurity object using the AddAccessRule method. You can remove access or audit rules using the RemoveAccessRule method.

Notes to Callers

The FileSecurity(String, AccessControlSections) constructor requires the current account to have administrative privileges. To create a new instance of the FileSecurity class for a specific file using an account that does not have administrative privileges, use the GetAccessControl() method.
