Checking folder access by sending folder path and user accou

sudheer kumar

My requirement is to check user is having folder access or not but it is not the application running user. User details also will be sent to the function. Function has to check the user it received is having access to the folder path sent to the function. I got some answers through google but one issue i am getting in one machine.

GetAccessControl is not returning data. It is giving "The process does not possess the 'SeSecurityPrivilege' privilege which is required for this operation."

So i need a function to check the user is having access to a path or not.

I tried same thing but its taking application running user account for creating file. Do you have any idea how to create a file with the user account details that i will send dynamically instead of application running acccount? I am running the application but i want to create a file with other user account details, i can send username, password and domain also.

You can check by creating a temp file into that folder and delete it. If its created then you have that permission else prompt user for UAC
