        MutexSecurity mSec = new MutexSecurity();
        MutexAccessRule ruleA = new MutexAccessRule(user,MutexRights.Synchronize | MutexRights.Modify,AccessControlType.Allow);
        mSec.AddAccessRule(ruleA);
        MutexAccessRule rule = new MutexAccessRule(user,MutexRights.ReadPermissions,AccessControlType.Allow);
        mSec.AddAccessRule(rule);
        foreach(MutexAccessRule ar in mSec.GetAccessRules(true, true, typeof(NTAccount)))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("User: {0}", ar.IdentityReference);
            Console.WriteLine("Type: {0}", ar.AccessControlType);
            Console.WriteLine("Rights: {0}", ar.MutexRights);
