We have to set folder and file permission while creating from AX for
different persons.
Is it possible?

fileIOPermission = new FileIOPermission(fileName, 'w'); --> set only global
permission.

We didn't find the code for:
- setting folder permission
- setting file/folder permission per group/person

Thanks in advance for helping us!

Hi,
yes it is possible to set the file/folder permissions from AX.
You have to use some classes of the .NET Framework to handle this.

There are several ways in .NET how you can do this.

Please take a look at these articles describing some of the ways (incl.
sample code):

Hope this helps you.

Hi

thanks for your links. I'm really sorry, but we do not have the know how to
call these .NET codes from AX. Could you get us an example?

Hi,

currently i have no sample code/example on hand which fits to your needs.
Sorry about that.

But each Link provides also some sample code demonstrating the things.

solution:

void setAccess(str _root, str _LstrFolder)
{
//Directory
System.Security.AccessControl.DirectorySecurity dirSecurity;
System.IO.DirectoryInfo dirInfo;

//File
System.Security.AccessControl.FileSecurity fileSecurity;
System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo;

//Access rights and user identification
System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule accessRule;
System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights fileSystemRights;
System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags inheritanceFlags;
System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags propogationFlags;
System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType accessControlType;

UserInfo UserInfo;
SHRDocuFolder LtabSHRDocuFolder;
;

dirInfo = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(_root);

// Get a DirectorySecurity object that represents the current security
settings.
dirSecurity = dirInfo.GetAccessControl();

// Add the FileSystemAccessRule to the security settings.
//identity = "Domain\\Name";

fileSystemRights = System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights::Write;
//:Write;

inheritanceFlags =
System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags::ObjectInherit;

propogationFlags =
System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags::NoPropagateInherit;

accessControlType = System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType::Allow;

accessRule = new
System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(identity,
fileSystemRights, inheritanceFlags, propogationFlags, accessControlType);

//set directory access
dirSecurity.AddAccessRule(accessRule);

// Set the new directory access settings.
dirInfo.SetAccessControl(dirSecurity);

}
