An IPrincipal object representing the current user.

String

The HTTP verb used to make the request.

Remarks

The CheckUrlAccessForPrincipal method checks to see whether the current user is granted access to the requested file in the Web.config file for the application.

If the HTTP verb used to make the request is GET, POST, or HEAD, the CheckUrlAccessForPrincipal method checks for read access to the file. If any other verb is used, the CheckUrlAccessForPrincipal checks for read/write access to the file.

For more information and an example Web.config file, see the UrlAuthorizationModule class documentation.
