If I adjust permissions using the Security.Accesscontrol.DirectorySecurity on a directory, how can I make it so that subfolders automatically inherit the new permissions?
Brief overview of the situation is that my neighbors can't connect their Vista laptop to a shared folder on their computer running XP Home. They're getting access errors which I believe is because of the rights set on the folder. The problem is that XP Home won't let you adjust that and they're not upgrading.
I'm able to add the Everyone user to the directory I specify. But if I drag a new folder in or create a new folder, it does not have the Everyone user. Is there something I'm missing in this class that will let subfolders and files inherit the permissions?
If I don't grant write permissions to the folder containing my exe file, I get an 'Access to the path binReleaseprogram.exe' is denied. But if I grant it write permission I don't get the error. Why would the executable need write permissions? I'm not writing anything to the root where it resides.
I've been struggling with this problem in VB.net for a while: whenever I try to access the My Documents, My video's or simular in Windows 7, I get an access denied error. The program that uses this code is a file-backup application, so it's important it can access everything. The app has admin rights, using this line:requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
To confirm, I also get a nice UAC popup when starting.The app accesses the files twice. Once to calculate the file size, and once to actually copy the files. Here is the file-size calculation code (that I found online:) Function GetFolderSize(ByVal DirPath As String, ByVal includeSubFolders As Boolean) As Long
I created a Project, now i wanna publish it. I should copy a folder from the CD on C:ProgramsTest .... Now my problem, how can i put the permission on it:
For all Folders and Subfolders should be: Group: User Permission:
I have a small application that creates users in the AD. It adds the users fine, and creates them a home directory. My problem is with granting the user permission to the home directory and is two foldFirstly the code detailed below adds the user to the folder, but because the account is newly created it displays as the SID rather than the name, not such a big deal, but sometimes the code fails as the replication has not caught up and the user isnt found. I beleive the answer here is to use the SID rather than the users name to add permissions, however I am not sure how to retrieve and store this when the account is created using directory services. Secondly and more frustrating is that once the user is added to the folder ACL their permissions are all blank.
Try Dim Dinfo As New DirectoryInfo(Directory) Dim DS As DirectorySecurity = New DirectorySecurity() Dim Rights As FileSystemRightsFileSystemRights = FileSystemRights.Modify
I found how to create a share in C# using the ManagementClass to create an object to reference the Win32_Share class and the ManagementBaseObject class to access the members of the Win32_Share class.My problem is that I want the "Everyone" permissions to default to Read only.When I set the share via Windows Explorer it works fine but the code in my C# application is allowing Full Control and Change permissions along with Read permission.I tried using the DirectorySecurity class but that blows away the Security permissions (under the Security tab)without affecting any Share permissions of the Everyone group (under the Share tab).I don't want to change the Security permissions, I want to change only the Share permission (you know, the permissions that appear when you hit the Permissions button on the Share tab).
I would like to read the NT Security (Read, Write, List, Inherited, blah blah blah) permissions from a file. I already have some code, and can get the names and SIDs, but cant seem to figure out the actual access bits.

Here is what I have so far:

I have an app written on an xp pc which I want users to run on Vista
The app needs to delete a file on a portable drive in a particular folder
This folder was created on the xp machine and copied to the portable drive
The app will not delete a file in this folder on Vista but it will on xp
When I check folder security on vista (which does not exist on xp) I find that the folder does not have full control assigned
my app will write a file to that folder & delete it but will not delete a file put there from the xp pc
If I change the security in vista to full control it works
what I want to do is see if the folder has full control when the user selects it and advise them they need to alter security as I can not do it in the program
basically I want to advise them the moment they select the folder, not when it fails to delete the file after entering misc details in the app which are reuired before the file is deleted.
here is the poblem after installing the program only users can only use the program if they are logged as admin can use the progam. like writing to the database. i either need to find out how to change the users to have write access during install or great a dll and add it to the install and as the program starts it checks the file and folder access of the users. if the access does not have write enabled then it runs the dll to fix it. not having any code posted i really do not have any idea how to do this. oh yes the short verision is if the program is install as an administritor only a user that have administritor access can write to the database.
I use the following code in order to check if certin user exists in the DACL:
Dim l_managemantObject As ManagementBaseObject() = CType(securityDescriptor.Properties("DACL").Value, ManagementBaseObject()) For Each mObject As ManagementBaseObject In l_managemantObject l_name = CType(mObject.GetPropertyValue("Trustee"), ManagementBaseObject).Properties("Name").Value.ToString If CType(mObject.GetPropertyValue("Trustee"), ManagementBaseObject).Properties("Domain").Value IsNot Nothing Then
I have a link on a VB.net aspx page that needs to open a folder in a subdirectory of a web site and provide read and write permissions so that files can be copied into and read from as well as deleted. ONLY from this folder.I have this funtionality working on a dev and demo PC but they are both on my domain. Clicking the link opens Windows Explorer and I can copy /cut & Paste, etc.The public/production PC is on the LAN, but not part of the domain. I know there are ways to allow folder read/write permissions on a public server like this but I am not too sure on the safest way to do this. The upside, the only users that need to have read/write/delete access are employees. Forms Authentication, ASP Membership directs non-employees to other pages within the site. Likewise, the membership directs employees to an admin section of the site.
I've got a WinForms install which installs the SDF file in the application directory but when my application tries to access it - permission is denied.How do I set the install such that my users can access the SDF file for update/delete functions?
I have developed an application in VS 2008 that generates crystal report.When I export the report to pdf,the application gets hang.The problem occurs since I can not create temp files in the temp folder i.e. %tmp%.The security level of windows 7 is high and it does not permits the application to create file.Can I alter the permissions in windows 7 using vb.net ?
I developed an assistance programme for an online game, and, in response to the users demands, I developed a secondary programme that downloads a zip file from a webpage hosted in a free Geocities server with the latest update for the programme and applies it. With the WinXP users it has worked perfectly, but with the Vista users, I've had a few cases where the update programme wasn't able to download the update, although everything worked fine with other uses.
I am wanting to update our current windows forms security to something a lot more flexible. At the moment we have a single column in thew users table which is named 'Access_Level', this field holds an int value (1 to 4) which is then use to determine users access to certain areas of the application. This worked fine when the system was small, but the system is growing rapidly now so I think it is a good time to update the user access and possibly introduce roles.
I want to create several folders on a specified drive, some are up to 3 levels deep such as x:users\%username%Documents
%username% would be a folder created after the users actual user name
What I would like to be able to do is create these folders for each username that resides on computer including the "default user" however the rest of the built in windows accounts I do not need to do this with.
I then want to change the registry setting under each user, for example these two keys (their are more keys however but they all follow this except for the last part of the key where instead of personal it would be named videos or something):
specifically this value needs to change "C:UsersTest UserDocuments" and this one "%USERPROFILE%Documents"
However it is my understanding that this key is specific to each user based on the S-1-5-21-999999999999-999999999999 number which I believe is referred to a GUID.
I know how to create a folder, I know how to change other registry settings that have integers but I am stumped on this.
But I am trying to get to the Personl folder of the current user in windows 7. Now there are two special folders: MyDocuments and Personal However they both lead to C:Users{USERNAME}Documents Shouldn't Personal lead to one back from that?
i was wondering if i can copy my application to the startup folder in windows when the form loads. The path i want my app to copy to is: C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuProgramsStartup
i am working on an application called logonscreenchangerxp i made my program and when i run it on xp virtualmachine i get errors the program is made using vb 2008 and using .net framework 2.0 i am not able to get full permissions to modify boot.ini file and a regisrty value and to delete a file
I've added an FTP client to a batch publishing program that I wrote about a year ago. The batch program "publishes" CAD files from "Pro/E" to "eDrawings". Upon publishing, some of "eDrawings" files are automatically uploaded to an external server via the newly written FTP client.The publisher and FTP client are working great.I'd like to add functionality that automatically changes the permissions on the files I'm uploading to our unix server (RHEL5). When I do this via SSH, I simply utilize a chmod command (i.e. chmod 0755 file.htm).I'm using VB.Net's DirectCast in my FTP Client.Is it possible to change the permissions on the files I'm uploading via FTP once they're on the server as part of the file uploading process?
I have a utility that is a simple exe that is not installed compiled with VS2005 and works well. But when I upgraded to VS2008 the utility can no longer locate files in the active system folder. I have UAC turned off and am logged in as the Administrator and it still can not locate a file that I can see in Windows Explorer. The file I am looking for is PakMgr.exe.
I have various projects that use reflection to access and invoke private or internal members in some of the framework classes. These projects all work fine on my machine (running visual basic express 2008), but are they guaranteed to work on another machine, or, say, over a network? I've had a look at Reflection-Permission, but I'm not sure if I need that granting to me or if I grant it to my project!
I need to build an app that can create a network share and give it full read/write permissions to everyone. I have this code to create/delete network shares: [Code] But it only changes the NTFS permissions, not the share permissions. I'm running Windows 7 RC (64-bit) using Visual Basic 2008 Express. Does anyone have any ideas on how to change the share permissions, not ntfs?
