Solution 1

Try writing a small file to the folder. If it doesn't have permissions, it'll fail. Catch the exception.

As for getting those permissions, code cannot get more permissions than the user already has, so there's really no way to do this in code. The only way to do that would be if an administrator of the folder in question granted those permissions.

the user is the admin, can i in this condition grant to the "Network service" Group permission to write in folder (in vb.net) ? or the only solution is to do that manually ( in property of the folder) ?
