I'm trying to programmatically determine whether the current user has certain permissions on a given Active Directory object (specifically in this case, I'm trying to determine whether the user has the "Send As" permission for another Exchange user or distribution list object).
I already figured out how to access the ntSecurityDescriptor attribute using ADSI: I can enumerate the ACEs in the IADsSecurityDescriptor's DiscretionaryACL property. But:
- How do I determine from that data whether the "Send As"-permission is explicitly allowed or denied for a trustee?
- How do I discover this when the permission has been granted indirectly via group membership? Do I really have to parse the effective permissions myself by (recursively) checking all groups the user is a member of? Surely there must be an API for that task...
FWIW, I'm coding in Delphi (i.e. native Win32 code) using the ActiveDs.dll typelibrary, so .NET-specific solutions won't really help me much unless their source code gives me clues to how to do the same thing in native code. The same goes for PowerShell.
Before anyone starts: I already know about the PR_EMS_AB_PUBLIC_DELEGATES and PR_EMS_AB_PUBLIC_DELEGATES_BL_O Extended MAPI properties. However, this is not what I'm after. These properties refer to the "Send on behalf of"-right (a.k.a. delegates), not the "Send As" permission, which is quite a different thing.
Here's the MSDN article that explains - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms675580(v=VS.85).aspx. There is an attached sample that shows how to call the API.
