Examples

The following code example uses the FileSecurity class to add and then remove an access control list (ACL) entry from a file. You must supply a valid user or group account to run this example.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.AccessControl;

namespace FileSystemExample
{
    class FileExample
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            try
            {
                string fileName = "test.xml";

                Console.WriteLine($"Adding access control entry for {fileName}");

                // Add the access control entry to the file.
                AddFileSecurity(fileName, @"DomainName\AccountName",
                    FileSystemRights.ReadData, AccessControlType.Allow);

Remarks

The FileSystemSecurity class is the base class for the FileSecurity and DirectorySecurity classes. These classes represent all of the access rights for a system file or directory and define how access attempts are audited.

The FileSystemSecurity class represents access and audit rights as a set of rules. Each access rule is represented by a FileSystemAccessRule object, while each audit rule is represented by a FileSystemAuditRule object.

The FileSystemSecurity class is an abstraction of the underlying Microsoft Windows file security system. In this system, each file or directory has a discretionary access control list (DACL), which controls access to the file or directory, and a system access control list (SACL), which specifies the access control attempts that are audited. The FileSystemAccessRule and FileSystemAuditRule classes are abstractions of access control entries (ACEs) that comprise DACLs and SACLs.

The FileSystemSecurity class hides many of details of DACLs and SACLs; you do not have to worry about ACE ordering or null DACLS.

Use the following .NET implementation-dependent methods to add or retrieve ACL information from a file:

.NET implementation	Add rules	Retrieve rules
.NET	FileSystemAclExtensions.SetAccessControl(FileInfo, FileSecurity)	FileSystemAclExtensions.GetAccessControl(FileInfo)
.NET Framework	FileInfo.SetAccessControl(FileSecurity)	FileInfo.GetAccessControl()
