DirectoryEntry CommitChanges() is throwing Access Denied error
I am working on Active Directive Role modification module in my project and getting Access denied error while Adding/Removing the roles of users. I am Administrator of AD server.
I noticed one schenario which is given below.
1: New user added in AD without any role.
2: Applying any role for user -(Getting error Access denied)
3: If apply the Super User role then role added successfully.
Code is given below
// Search for role in Adam.
DirectorySearcher directorySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(GetAdamSdsRoot());
directorySearcher.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=group)(cn=" + roleName + "))";
SearchResult searchResult = directorySearcher.FindOne();
// Remove user from role.
DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = searchResult.GetDirectoryEntry();
directoryEntry.Properties["member"].Remove("<SID=" + GetActiveDirectoryUserSid(userName) + ">");
directoryEntry.CommitChanges();

For one, this isn't going to work:
directoryEntry.Properties["member"].Remove("<SID=" + GetActiveDirectoryUserSid(userName) + ">");
The member attribute is a list of distinguishedName attributes of the members, not their SIDs. So you need to remove the user's distinguishedName, not the SID.
But if that was the only problem, the exception would not be "Access denied".
I know you said you are an administrator, but are you running this under your administrator credentials?

Yes, I am running under the administrator account. Also noticed one more things that is given below. 1: There is 9 role on server. two is parent role and 7 is child folder role. If I assigned parent role then it work and if assigned child role then showing error. 2: If I assigned parent role and again updating child role then not getting access denied iissue.

Have you changed your code to use thedistinguishedNameof the user and not the SID?

Yes, I changed but getting diff error : "information: An invalid dn syntax has been specified.". My DN is "CN=singh Arunkumar,OU=Consultants,OU=Users,OU=SE,OU=CRFREE,DC=CRFREE,DC=com"/ Code line : directoryEntry.Properties["member"].Remove("<distinguishedName=" + GetActiveDirectoryUserDistinguishedName(userName) + ">");

You don't need the "<distinguishedName=" . You just pass the DN to the Remove method.
– Gabriel Luci
Nov 15 '18 at 12:18
So in your case:directoryEntry.Properties["member"].Remove(GetActiveDirectoryUserDistinguishedName(userName))
