Examples

The following example uses the GetAccessControl and SetAccessControl methods to add and then remove an access control list (ACL) entry from a directory.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Security::AccessControl;

// Adds an ACL entry on the specified directory for the
// specified account.
void AddDirectorySecurity(String^ directoryName, String^ account, 
     FileSystemRights rights, AccessControlType controlType)
{
    // Create a new DirectoryInfo object.
    DirectoryInfo^ dInfo = gcnew DirectoryInfo(directoryName);

    // Get a DirectorySecurity object that represents the
    // current security settings.
    DirectorySecurity^ dSecurity = dInfo->GetAccessControl();

    // Add the FileSystemAccessRule to the security settings.
    dSecurity->AddAccessRule( gcnew FileSystemAccessRule(account,
        rights, controlType));

    // Set the new access settings.
    dInfo->SetAccessControl(dSecurity);
}

// Removes an ACL entry on the specified directory for the
// specified account.
void RemoveDirectorySecurity(String^ directoryName, String^ account,
     FileSystemRights rights, AccessControlType controlType)
{
    // Create a new DirectoryInfo object.
    DirectoryInfo^ dInfo = gcnew DirectoryInfo(directoryName);

    // Get a DirectorySecurity object that represents the
    // current security settings.
    DirectorySecurity^ dSecurity = dInfo->GetAccessControl();

    // Add the FileSystemAccessRule to the security settings.
    dSecurity->RemoveAccessRule(gcnew FileSystemAccessRule(account,
        rights, controlType));

    // Set the new access settings.
    dInfo->SetAccessControl(dSecurity);

Remarks

Calling this method overload is equivalent to calling the GetAccessControl method overload and specifying the access control sections AccessControlSections.Access | AccessControlSections.Owner | AccessControlSections.Group (AccessControlSections.Access Or AccessControlSections.Owner Or AccessControlSections.Group in Visual Basic).

An ACL describes individuals and groups who have, or don't have, rights to specific actions on the given file or directory. For more information, see How to: Add or Remove Access Control List Entries.

Applies to

GetAccessControl(AccessControlSections)

Gets a DirectorySecurity object that encapsulates the specified type of access control list (ACL) entries for the directory described by the current DirectoryInfo object.

public:
 System::Security::AccessControl::DirectorySecurity ^ GetAccessControl(System::Security::AccessControl::AccessControlSections includeSections);

public System.Security.AccessControl.DirectorySecurity GetAccessControl (System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlSections includeSections);

member this.GetAccessControl : System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlSections -> System.Security.AccessControl.DirectorySecurity

Public Function GetAccessControl (includeSections As AccessControlSections) As DirectorySecurity

Parameters

includeSections: AccessControlSections

One of the AccessControlSections values that specifies the type of access control list (ACL) information to receive.

Returns

DirectorySecurity

A DirectorySecurity object that encapsulates the access control rules for the file described by the path parameter.

Exceptions

SystemException

The directory could not be found or modified.

UnauthorizedAccessException

The current process does not have access to open the directory.
OR
The directory is read-only.
OR
This operation is not supported on the current platform.
OR
The caller does not have the required permission.

IOException

An I/O error occurred while opening the directory.
