AllowAccess Method

Object: Folder

Syntax: AllowAccess ([in] AccountName, [in] Permissions [PermissionType])

Description:

This method creates an Access Control Entry (ACE) for the current folder that allows specific access.

The AccountName must resolve to a valid NT account in the domain.

The Permissions can have any of the following values or any logical combination of the following values:

Constant	Value	Description
saNoAccess	1	All Access is denied.
saRead	2	The file can be read.
saWrite	4	The file can be written.
saExecute	8	The file can be executed.
saDelete	16	The file can be deleted.
saPermissions	32	Permissions on the file can be changed.
saOwner	64	Allows taking ownership of the file.
saFull	126	Allows all of the above permissions (except NoAccess).

These constants can be found using the IIS 4 or later TypeLibrary feature, or by viewing the vbFileManagerInclude.asp file contained in the .\Samples\FileManagerSamples directory.

PermissionType is an optional parameter. By default, its value is 3. If set to 1, permission is for files. If set to 2, permission is for directories. If 3, permission is for both files and directories.
