C# – Check Write Access To Folder

Hi,

An easy way to know if the user have write access to a folder can be done this way:

public static bool HasWriteAccessToFolder(string folderPath)
{
    try
    {
        // Attempt to get a list of security permissions from the folder. 
        // This will raise an exception if the path is read only or do not have access to view the permissions. 
        System.Security.AccessControl.DirectorySecurity ds = Directory.GetAccessControl(folderPath);
        return true;
    }
    catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

public static bool HasWriteAccessToFolder(string folderPath)

{

try

{

// Attempt to get a list of security permissions from the folder.

// This will raise an exception if the path is read only or do not have access to view the permissions.

System.Security.AccessControl.DirectorySecurity ds = Directory.GetAccessControl(folderPath);

return true;

}

catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)

{

return false;

}

Happy coding! 🙂
