File Access Rights Constants

The valid access rights for files and directories include the DELETE, READ_CONTROL, WRITE_DAC, WRITE_OWNER, and SYNCHRONIZE standard access rights. The following table lists the access rights that are specific to files and directories.

For a directory, the right to create a subdirectory.
FILE_ALL_ACCESS
All possible access rights for a file.

4
For a file object, the right to append data to the file. (For local files, write operations will not overwrite existing data if this flag is specified without FILE_WRITE_DATA.) For a directory object, the right to create a subdirectory (FILE_ADD_SUBDIRECTORY).
FILE_CREATE_PIPE_INSTANCE

For a named pipe, the right to create a pipe.
FILE_DELETE_CHILD
