Declaration
public AccessLevel GetAccessLevel(IPrincipal principal)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal principal

The principal to check access against.

Returns
Type Description
AccessLevel

The access level.

Remarks

Use this method when you want to get the union of all access types granted to this principal. This is most likely only used for display purposes in the user interface. Code that checks access and performs different actions depending on the type of access granted should use the HasAccess method, since it does what you want and has the potential for being much faster.

HasAccess(IPrincipal, AccessLevel)

Determines whether the specified principal has the requested access.

Declaration
public bool HasAccess(IPrincipal principal, AccessLevel access)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal principal

The principal to authorize.

AccessLevel access

The requested access level.

Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

true if the specified principal has access; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Note that the access level is a bitmask, i e we simply check that all specified access types are granted to the principal.
