How do you set file permissions?


I want to be able to programatically set files permissions for specific
users.

For example I want to add the user "IWAM_MachineName" to the file "xyz.txt"
and give that user "Read and Execute" or "Full Control"

Can someone provide a simple example of how to accomplish that?

Thanks,
Patrick Dugan
