Retrieve Security Information of Files using .NET

The System.Security.AccessControl namespace provides programming elements to control access to and audit security-related actions on securable objects. In this article, we will see how to display security information of files kept in a directory.

var fileInfo = new DirectoryInfo(dirLocation).EnumerateFiles();

foreach (var file in fileInfo)
{
