I need to figure out how to write functions to control access to resources on Windows 8.1. On Windows 7 and earlier versions, it seems I can use Access Control List related functions provided in Win32 API to write things like that,

C++ - How to set file permissions (cross platform)

but wonder how to do the same thing on the latest Windows 8.1, since Win32 is replaced by WinRT.

I'm considering using C++, but any suggestion to accomplish this task is welcomed.

    Win32 still exists on Windows 8.1. I doubt WinRT even has file permissions since everything is locked down by default. – Jonathan Potter Jul 22 '14 at 12:39
  • So you mean Win32 applications/codes written and tested on Windows 7 can work on Windows 8 (fairly perfectly or so)? Sorry, I don't have a Windows 8.1 device right now to test my codes which I'm currently writing on Windows 7. – huongpc Jul 22 '14 at 12:47
  • Other than WindowsRT (e.g. on a tablet), which supports Store apps only, yes. – Jonathan Potter Jul 22 '14 at 21:30
