what do you mean with "force it to have it" ?

Unfortunately .NET does not wrap the functionality of the "effective permissions"
tab in the ACL dialog. But you can *try* to write to that folder and catch
the eventual exception (not very elegant but works) - or

wrap the AuthZ API yourself which lets you check such stuff.
