Check Permissions to access a folder

[krammai]

Does ASP.NET 2.0 provide an easy way to programatically determine if a user
has permissions to access a particular folder? If yes, code snippets would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi,

well - it is not as easy.

You can get to the information who has which access on a file - but this
won't necessarily help you, e.g.

you will see the groups/folders - if a user is not individually added to
the ACL list - you would still have to figure out his group memberships.
There is no easy way of doing that (besides for a user you have a token for,
which allows to check his group memberships)

about what you want to achieve.

ASP.NET 2.0
This seems to work.

Private Function HasAccess(ByVal Path As String) As Boolean
With New SiteMapNode(SiteMap.Provider, Guid.NewGuid.ToString,
Path)
Return .IsAccessibleToUser(Context)
End With
End Function
