ObjectSecurity Class

Provides the ability to control access to objects without direct manipulation of Access Control Lists (ACLs). This class is the abstract base class for the CommonObjectSecurity and DirectoryObjectSecurity classes.

Namespace:  System.Security.AccessControl
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public abstract class ObjectSecurity

The ObjectSecurity type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Protected method ObjectSecurity Initializes a new instance of the ObjectSecurity class.
Top
  Name Description
Public property AccessRightType Gets the Type of the securable object associated with this ObjectSecurity object.
Protected property AccessRulesModified Gets or sets a Boolean value that specifies whether the access rules associated with this ObjectSecurity object have been modified.
Public property AccessRuleType Gets the Type of the object associated with the access rules of this ObjectSecurity object. The Type object must be an object that can be cast as a SecurityIdentifier object.
Public property AreAccessRulesCanonical Gets a Boolean value that specifies whether the access rules associated with this ObjectSecurity object are in canonical order.
Public property AreAccessRulesProtected Gets a Boolean value that specifies whether the Discretionary Access Control List (DACL) associated with this ObjectSecurity object is protected.
Public property AreAuditRulesCanonical Gets a Boolean value that specifies whether the audit rules associated with this ObjectSecurity object are in canonical order.
Public property AreAuditRulesProtected Gets a Boolean value that specifies whether the System Access Control List (SACL) associated with this ObjectSecurity object is protected.
Protected property AuditRulesModified Gets or sets a Boolean value that specifies whether the audit rules associated with this ObjectSecurity object have been modified.
Public property AuditRuleType Gets the Type object associated with the audit rules of this ObjectSecurity object. The Type object must be an object that can be cast as a SecurityIdentifier object.
Protected property GroupModified Gets or sets a Boolean value that specifies whether the group associated with the securable object has been modified.
Protected property IsContainer Gets a Boolean value that specifies whether this ObjectSecurity object is a container object.
Protected property IsDS Gets a Boolean value that specifies whether this ObjectSecurity object is a directory object.
Protected property OwnerModified Gets or sets a Boolean value that specifies whether the owner of the securable object has been modified.

We recommend that the values of the includeSections parameters passed to the constructor and persist methods be identical. For more information, see Remarks.
Protected method Persist(Boolean, String, AccessControlSections) Saves the specified sections of the security descriptor associated with this ObjectSecurity object to permanent storage. We recommend that the values of the includeSections parameters passed to the constructor and persist methods be identical. For more information, see Remarks.
Public method PurgeAccessRules Removes all access rules associated with the specified IdentityReference.
Public method PurgeAuditRules Removes all audit rules associated with the specified IdentityReference.
Protected method ReadLock Locks this ObjectSecurity object for read access.
