[python-win32] Re: Folder permissions

[Ryan Parrish]

Here is what I have as a little test...

import os, win32security, ntsecuritycon

for root, dirs, files in os.walk("c:\\"):
    sd= win32security.GetFileSecurity(root,
win32security.GROUP_SECURITY_INFORMATION)
    sid= sd.GetSecurityDescriptorGroup()
    print root,"  ", win32security.LookupAccountSid(None, sid)

I do have the necessary permission as I am a local admin on my box.
Using OWNER_SECURITY_INFORMATION correctly returns owner of the
file/directory, but with GROUP_SECURITY_INFORMATION it returns seemingly
random groups from my domain that I absolutely know are not assigned on
my box (yes I checked also), besides it only seems to return one group -
I'm looking for all the groups that have access to the folder.

Ah, now I see that win32security.GetNamedSecurityInfo, that's what they
are talking about with the example, I totally didn't get that doh! Let
me see if I can figure out win32security.GetNamedSecurityInfo.

GetFileSecurity should be able to pick up the correct info, assuming you
have sufficient permission to read the security descriptor.
Does it pick up any permissions at all ?

GetNamedSecurityInfo which the fileperm c code uses is also in the
win32security module.

What leads you to conclude that the group info is wrong ?
