How to assign permissions for Copy/Paste on windows
- by jalchr
Well, as everyone knows there is no way you can assign permissions for Copy/Paste of files on windows platform.
I need to control the copy process from a central file server, in a way that helps me know:
which user performed the copy
Which files were copied
where did he pasted them
Total size of data copied
Time of copy operation
If user exceeds the allowed "Copy-Limit", a dialog box requests him to enter administrative credentials or deny him (as it would be configured)
Store all this data in a file for later review or send by email.
I need to collect this data by putting a utility program on the server itself, without any other installation on client computers.
I know about monitoring the Clipboard, but which clipboard would it be? the user's clipboard or the server's clipboard ?
And what about drag-drop operation, which doesn't even pass through the clipboard?
Any knowledge of whether SystemFileWatcher is useful in such case ?
Any ideas ?
