Sets the access control security for a named system mutex.

void SetAccessControl(System::Security::AccessControl::MutexSecurity ^ mutexSecurity);public void SetAccessControl (System.Security.AccessControl.MutexSecurity mutexSecurity);member this.SetAccessControl : System.Security.AccessControl.MutexSecurity -> unitPublic Sub SetAccessControl (mutexSecurity As MutexSecurity)Parameters
- mutexSecurity
- MutexSecurity
A MutexSecurity object that represents the access control security to be applied to the named system mutex.
Exceptions
mutexSecurity is null.
The current Mutex object does not represent a named system mutex.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the cross-process behavior of a named mutex with access control security. The example uses the OpenExisting(String) method overload to test for the existence of a named mutex.
If the mutex does not exist, it is created with initial ownership and access control security that denies the current user the right to use the mutex, but grants the right to read and change permissions on the mutex.
If you run the compiled example from two command windows, the second copy will throw an access violation exception on the call to OpenExisting(String). The exception is caught, and the example uses the OpenExisting(String, MutexRights) method overload to open the mutex with the rights needed to read and change the permissions, using the GetAccessControl and SetAccessControl methods.
After the permissions are changed, the mutex is opened with the rights required to enter and release it. If you run the compiled example from a third command window, it runs using the new permissions.

Remarks
The user must have MutexRights.ChangePermissions rights to call this method, and the mutex must have been opened with MutexRights.ChangePermissions.
Note
In .NET Core and .NET 5+, the equivalent method is SetAccessControl.
