Check out the docs for info on Security and specifically Permissions.
Some code could go: (After importing the System.Security.Permissions
namespace)
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal)
Dim wp as WindowsPricipal
wp = Ctype(Threading.Thread.CurrentPrinciapl, WindowsPrincipal)
Dim id as WindowsIdentity
id = Ctype(wp.Identity, WindowsIdentity)
Debug.Writeline(id.Name)
*And then use the intellisense or the docs to find the info available
about the identity - theres quite a lot of useful info as you would
expect)
If you then need to ensure a user has specific permissions/authority
to perform a function in your app, and those permissions are based on
Windows security, then you should check out securty checks, like
Demand.
