Access Rights

Sets and returns the owner, group, and permissions of the file or directory specified by path. Details

path specifies the file or directory whose access rights you want to change.
new owner specifies the new owner setting for the file or directory. If new owner is an empty string, the VI does not set the owner.
new group specifies the new group setting for the file or directory. If new group is an empty string, the VI does not set the group.
new permissions specifies the new permissions setting for the file or directory.
error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurs before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
dup path is a flow-through parameter with the same value as path.
owner contains the current owner setting for the file or directory after this function executes.
group contains the current group setting for the file or directory after this function executes.
permissions contains the current permissions setting for the file or directory after this function executes.
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.

Access Rights Details

If you do not specify new owner, new group, or new permissions, this function returns the current settings unchanged. Refer to Setting Permissions for more information about the new permissions parameter.

Windows This function ignores new owner and new group and returns empty strings for owner and group because Windows does not support owners and groups.

Macintosh If path refers to a file, this function ignores new owner and new group and returns empty strings for owner and group because Macintosh does not support owners or groups for files.
