Removes all access control rules with the same user and AccessControlType (allow or deny) as the specified rule, and then adds the specified rule.

public:
 void SetAccessRule(System::Security::AccessControl::RegistryAccessRule ^ rule);

public void SetAccessRule (System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule rule);

override this.SetAccessRule : System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule -> unit

Public Sub SetAccessRule (rule As RegistryAccessRule)

Parameters

rule: RegistryAccessRule

The RegistryAccessRule to add. The user and AccessControlType of this rule determine the rules to remove before this rule is added.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

rule is null.

Examples

The following code example shows that the SetAccessRule method removes all rules that match both the user and the AccessControlType of rule, ignoring rights and flags, and replaces them with rule.

The example creates a RegistrySecurity object and adds rules that allow and deny various rights for the current user, with different inheritance and propagation flags. The example then creates a new rule that allows the current user only to read the key, and uses the SetAccessRule method to remove the two rules that allow access and to replace them with the new rule. The rule that denies access is not affected.

Note

This example does not attach the security object to a RegistryKey object. See the RegistryKey.GetAccessControl method and the RegistryKey.SetAccessControl method.

Remarks

If the specified rule has Allow, the effect of this method is to remove all Allow rules for the specified user, replacing them with the specified rule. If the specified rule has Deny, all Deny rules for the specified user are replaced with the specified rule.

If there are no rules whose user and AccessControlType match the specified rule, rule is added.
