Well I think generally the way that you are meant to check/inforce security on NT is to use Impersonation rather than explicitly determining what a user can and cannot do. &nbsp;In that way you can become the user, carry out the action, and if the user is not allowed to carry out that action, then it won't happen! :-)<br />

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
