    Thank you for your help

    This might do the trick:

    System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier sid = new System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier(System.Security.Principal.WellKnownSidType.WorldSid, null);

    System.Security.Principal.NTAccount acct = sid.Translate(typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)) as System.Security.Principal.NTAccount ;

    Console.WriteLine(acct.ToString());

    Good luck :-)

    The problem is that the string "Everyone" has to be hardcoded. How do I give permissions to the everyone account with knowing each language "Everyone" string

  • Tejas34

    You can use a SID, maybe through the WellKnownSidType enum. Not sure exactly how :).

    I believe you would have to look at having localization in your app. I am unsure but I would start from here
