Hi,

I am using below code to give access to a user but when I check in explorer
only "Special Permission' is checked instead of "FullControl"?

DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\\zDeleteMe");

DirectorySecurity dSecurity = di.GetAccessControl();

// Add the FileSystemAccessRule to the security settings.

dSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule("MyDomain\\Myuser",

FileSystemRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow));

// Set the new access settings.

di.SetAccessControl(dSecurity);

Thanks,

You need to specify the inheritance options when creating the access rule.
e.g.:

dSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule("MyDomain\\Myuser",
    FileSystemRights.FullControl,
    InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit | InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit,
    PropagationFlags.None,
    AccessControlType.Allow));
