Bug: Application is crashing when changing file permissions

[MeiVinEight]

Description

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a folder and disable inheritance using the windows file manager.
2. Add a permission principal with only Read and execute access using the windows file manager.
3. Edit it's access to full control using the Files App in security in properties.
4. Edit it's access to full control using the Files App in advanced security.
5. It will report "Something went wrong!" and crashed.

These operations do not seem to reproduce the problem 100%, but the modifyings of folder's access permissions do not take effect,
It seems that it is not just this operation that causes the program to crash.
And it seems not work when edit file/folder's access permissions.

Requirements

• Fix program crashes caused by some operations.
• Fix security editing, make it work, such as edit user's permissions.

There are known issues being tracked in #11549, #11550 and #11551. I assume these are the things you are trying to edit in Files

To make things more clear, I’m planning the following to do:

• Add a ViewModel for SecurityAdvancedPage.
• Remove UI-related parts from Filesystem.Security.AccessControlEntry class
• Remove the code using the default C# security classes
• Use Win32API by using Vanara possibly

Current security-related codes are a little messy. I’ll find the way.

I'm sorry but the feature is disabled for a year because of its instability. So we can now close and have to implement the feature to edit file permission. I can start working on from my previous try.
