The CheckFileAccessForUser method checks to see whether the current user, represented by a Windows access token, is granted access to the requested file in the file-system access-control lists (ACLs). The virtual path is mapped to the physical file-system path before the check is made.
If the HTTP verb used to make the request is GET, POST, or HEAD, the CheckFileAccessForUser method checks for read access to the file. If any other verb is used, the CheckFileAccessForUser method checks for read/write permission to the file.
Security Note If the FileAuthorizationModule module is not defined in the httpModules configuration section for the application, the FileAuthorizationModule module always returns true.
