Grant read permission on folder to user

[peterdoherty]

Hi,

 

I am tying to create an app which will automatically grant read access to a folder for a user account.

 

Has anyone any ideas on how to do this?

 

Cheers,

Peter

That's a hard one, I can't remember the name of the API, but that's the route you're going to have to go. A search on MSDN for folder permissions should get you in the ball park. Know that's not much help but hopefully it will get you towards your goal.

I was about to post a similar question here :) .. but I'll just append to this.

 

I would like to set the permissions of a directory so it can be used as the webroot for IIS. I believe I need to set it to read/execute.

 

Ideally I'd like to find the IUSR account, but I would be happy with just being able to set Everyone to read/execute.

 

Sorry to hi-jack your thread, but if I find anything regarding permission mods today, I'll post.
