Programmatically removing the checkbox "Enable inheritable permissions from this parent of the object" using C #

Question

I have a requirement in my application to iterate over all subfolders programmatically removing the checkbox "Include inheritable permissions from this parent object" using C #.

And also convert and add the inherited parent permissions as explicit permissions for the folder.

Can anyone tell me? how can i do this in c #

You need to use ObjectSecurity.SetAccessRuleProtection :

 string path = @"..."; FileSecurity fs = File.GetAccessControl(path); fs.SetAccessRuleProtection(true, false); File.SetAccessControl(path, fs);
