using System.Security.AccessControl; using System.Threading; // Create a new mutex - named "myMutex" bool createdNew; Mutex myMutex = new Mutex(false, "myMutex", out createdNew); // Get the MutexSecurity object security descriptor for the mutex MutexSecurity mutexSecurity = myMutex.GetAccessControl(); // Create a new AccessRule to allow the current user to synchronize var currentUser = Environment.UserDomainName + "\\" + Environment.UserName; var rule = new MutexAccessRule( currentUser, MutexRights.Synchronize | MutexRights.Modify, AccessControlType.Allow ); // Add the newly created rule to the mutex's security descriptor mutexSecurity.AddAccessRule(rule); // Set the security descriptor for the mutex myMutex.SetAccessControl(mutexSecurity);In the example above, we create a new Mutex object called "myMutex". We then get the MutexSecurity object security descriptor for the mutex and create a new AccessRule to allow the current user to synchronize on the mutex and modify its state. We add the new rule to the mutex's security descriptor and then set the security descriptor for the mutex using the SetAccessControl() method. This example demonstrates how to set the security descriptor for a mutex using the SetAccessControl() method in the System.Threading.Mutex class. The package library used here is System.Threading.Mutex.
