I want the asp application to create a folder that has access only to the account the application was running with (i.e. asp account?)
I actually wanna use this one, but I don't know how to use the "ComputerCurrentAccount" dynamically.
I want to get the current working account.
I would like to SET ALL permissions to True for all users of a computer, while using Directory.CreateDirectory
View 1 RepliesI've developed a Windows Form application that contains a function where a user will query AD using a users last name in an attempt to get a list of all domain users that contain all or part of the last name. This function works well if the user is an administrator, however in some cases a department manager, who only exist in the Domain User AD group, needs to use this function. When the user with only Domain User rights uses the function all queries come back empty. I can take the same application to another domain and user with just Domain User rights can use the function just fine.
I assume that the first domain that I mentioned might be using Group Policy to prevent Domain Users from making a query against AD.
Is it truly a Group Policy or some other setting within the domain that prevents this?
The current administrator of the first domain I spoke of is fairly new and has no idea of the workings of AD or Group Policy. All domains that I mentioned here I believe are running Windows 2003 Domains.
When I use IO.Directory.CreateDirectory to create a directory it creates a read-only directory no matter where I make the directory.
View 1 RepliesI need to read the distinguished name of the current user (the one running the program) from Active Directory.I'm warm (I know I should use System. DirectoryServices and DirectorySearcher), but somehow I can't get the code to work properly, nor can I find a working example.Now, after having spent hours searching for examples on the internet, I'm getting quite frustrated with myself, so I turn to you hoping someone can provide an example.Why I need this: when people run this program, it needs to detect which OU they belong to. We have several sites (for example Rotterdam and Amsterdam) and depending on what site the user's OU is, I need to perform some actions. So I hope to derive f.e. "OU=Rotterdam" from their DN.

View 7 RepliesI have been working on creating a small application we can run that will add permissions to a folder during an installation of a new application. The application requires read/write access to the folder and all subfolders. For whatever reason I have been instructed to include this in and install package that will be pushed out using SMS. Below is a sample of the method I use to add the user to the folder and give the appropriate rights to that user:

This works fine adding the user account to the folder and with with appropriate rights. I need it to give rights to the folder I select and all subfolders and files, This is where I am stuck. Does anyone know how to grant permission to a selected directory and all subfolders and files?
I'm trying to set ACL's on a folder using Directory.SetAccessControl. More specifically, I want to grant "Users" full control on a folder. AddFileSecurity works perfectly. AddFolderSecurity does not.

View 1 RepliesI am building a permissions system in vb.net against the normal Windows Server file system. Have not decided on the best method, but is there a way to get access to some kind of internal GUID that Windows might store for a folder. If I just store the path for security, then it quickly becomes very hard to update a database storing path information to get security information. If a folder had some kind of internal GUID structure that would be great. Is this available?

View 9 RepliesI have a simple .NET 3.5 app for changing some database fields using an ODBCDataSet. Now the Feature Creep is asking if I can hide or show tabs and other controls based on the user's database permissions. Ideally, I would like to control the permissions only on the SQL Server using Windows user groups, and the app would not have any built-in authentication or permission system--it simply uses the logged-in user's Windows account for the database connection. So thus it would have to "test" the permissions to determine whether or not to show the tabs for the user. For example, if they have "write" permissions to a certain table, then the tab for editing it would be visible; if not, the tab never loads for them. How can I list or test the user's permissions to the ODBCDataSet?

I am creating a multi-user application using VB 2005 Pro and SQL Server 2005.I would like to know what your ideas are when it comes to managing user permissions in regard to being able to view, add, edit and delete information in the database? Do you think I should have the end user type in the information into the VB application which then will create an SQL server user and then apply permissions to that security user or should I fine-grain the application by allowing groups to be created and then assigning permissions and users to those groups?
