I'm looking for the simplest way to test if a file is writeable, and if it is read-only to change its access permissions to make it writeable. Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction are welcome! ...
Where in a Windows (Vista) system should I place data that ought to be readable and writable by everyone, i.e. every user of the computer? Vista's concepts of C:\Users\xxx\AppData\something, C:\Program Files and C:\ProgramData directories and UAC are a bit confusing. Furthermore, is there any ready solution to determine those locations ...
I am current working on a task in which I am needing to call a method in a web service from a CLR stored procedure. A bit of background: Basically, I have a task that requires ALOT of crunching. If done strictly in SQL, it takes somewhere around 30-45 mins to process. If I pull the same process into code, I can get it complete in sec...
When I run my application locally it writes my log4net log to the location I've configured (i.e., <file value="${LOCALAPPDATA}\TEST\Logs\debug.log" />) without a problem. However, when I deploy my application via ClickOnce, the log file is not being written. I know ClickOnce applications are limited in terms of where they can write t...
How can I see the contents of a file with 111 permissions? A thing called Y-combinator, as an input, prints the content of a file. My instinct says that you can run it with 100 permissions. However, I know only the theory, not the practise. Which is the lowest permission level to see a file with Y-combinator in Bash? The user nobo...

I have been reading about Security of Design. I noticed a tip of lowest permission level. So I did the above code to my junk files. Unfortunately, the junk-folder seemed to contain some server files. A few sites become forbidden. The folder contained stuff such as "Mail", "dev" and "Public". The reason for junking them was that they are...
OK, I'm trying to make an "empty" version of a database on another instance of SQL Server 2005. To do this, I use the Scripting wizard to make a big script that CREATEs all the tables, views, SPs, etc., adds some users, and grants permissions for them. Now, in the permission section of the script, I have (among other things) use [mast...
I have content on a portable HDD that is to be shared between 2 or more computers, but none of the computers are connected to a domain (none exists). I want to give permissions to the content in such a way that the permissions remain the same across all my computers, irrespective of which computer I connect the HDD to and irrespective of...

I'm trying to get my website under version control. I work directly on the server with ExpanDrive, which uses MacFUSE to mount the SFTP connection as a local volume which I can access with the terminal and other local applications. Anyway, everything goes smoothly until I try to commit, when I receive this message: fatal: exec .git/hoo...
I'm using SQL Management Studio 2008 Express as a graphic interface to my local SQL Server 2008 Express instance, both of which I have locally only as a test and developement interface for my web projects. I have recently grown more confident in SQL coding, and started to use some more complicated sql stuff - my latest field of explorat...

IS it best to configure permissions within a website for Administration access, separate webPages, or a completely separate application to administer changes on the site? ...
Apologies if already answered. None of the listed answers seemed satisfactory. I'm using WAMP to build a site (obviously windows). Folder for images needs permissions turned on so they appear on the site. Everytime I use "Properties" on the folder, it reverts back to read only. Altering things in the advanced toolbars and trying to make...
I'm launching a lengthy import on a new thread in an ASP.NET page. Everything is working fine except that I get a failed IO permission when I try to write to my log file from the worker thread, which is not a problem in the primary thread. I am using IIS7 integrated mode without impersonation, although I got the same results with imper...

Is there a way I can give developers permission to grant a user permissions over objects without giving them the option to create users or functions? I'm trying to limit developers permissions, I recently found out that developers had db_owner permissions in dev and prod environments! So I'm doing my best to stop this madness. Any good...
I come from an ASP.NET background and find the entire roles based authorization scheme limiting to say the least. I've read about Microsoft's new Identity Model and the Geneva Framework with its Claims based architecture but it seems overly complex. In general, I'd like to know more about possible authorization architectures to find out...
