You're doing it backwards. What you need to be looking at is folder permissions for the individuals or groups, then have them place the files in those folders. Doing it on a file by file basis is tedious.

I am trying to come up with a way of letting my users set the permissions on a document they create. I'm using c#, with visual studio 2017. &nbsp;This is in a windows environment. I was thinking of maybe adding a context item so when they right click a document one of the options is Set Permissions. When that is clicked it opens a dialog that let's them choose users and give them Edit/Read permissions. And the list of users they see would have to be restricted to the users in their assigned group. I'm hoping for ideas, sample code, anything to help. Thanks.

Allow users to set permissions on documents they create in windows

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft Windows, as well as web sites, web applications and web services. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code.
