SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR
The SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure contains the security information associated with an object.
Applications use this structure to set and query an object's security status.
Applications are not to modify the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure directly. For creating and manipulating a security descriptor, use
the functions listed in the See Also section.
typedef PVOID PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR;
Remarks
A security descriptor includes information that specifies the following
components of an object's security:
- An owner (SID)
- A primary group (SID)
- A discretionary ACL
- A system ACL
- Qualifiers for the preceding items
Security descriptors use access-control lists (ACLs) and security identifiers
(SIDs) to specify the information in this list.
A security descriptor can be in absolute or self-relative form. In
self-relative form, all members of the structure are located contiguously in memory. In
absolute form, the structure only contains pointers to the members.
