GetEffectivePermission method of the Win32_CodecFile class

The GetEffectivePermission WMI class method uses the values set in the Permissions parameter to determine whether the user has the specified permissions set in the AccessMask property of the Win32_CodecFile object that represents the codec file. The permissions apply to the file, the directory in which the file resides, and the share, if either the directory or the file are in a share.

This topic uses Managed Object Format (MOF) syntax. For more information about using this method, see Calling a Method.
