Contains the security information associated with an object. The information in security descriptors can include an owner, a primary group, a discretionary access-control list, and a system access-control list. This information is stored in the form of security identifiers (SIDs) and access-control lists (ACLs).
A structure and associated data that contains the security information for a securable object. A security descriptor identifies the object's owner and primary group. It can also contain a DACL that controls access to the object, and a SACL that controls the logging of attempts to access the object. See also absolute security descriptor, discretionary access control list, self-relative security descriptor, system access control list.
a binary data structure that contains all information related to access control for a specific object
a data structure that is associated with each securable object
an entry in the NTFS that describes the owner of a file or folder, and the permissions (set in Windows) that are associated with it
a set of information attached to an object (such as a file, printer, or service) that specifies the permissions granted to different groups (or users), as well as the security events to be audited
A data structure that contains the security information for a securable object, such as a share, file, or sink, or event filter. A security descriptor identifies the object's owner and primary group. It also identifies who can have access to the resource and what type of access. Several WMI classes can be used to manage security descriptors including Win32_SecurityDescriptor, Win32_ACE, and Win32_SID.
a Windows NT security descriptor structure. Security descriptors protect access to Windows NT securable objects (such as files, or Microsoft Exchange Server directory objects). Security descriptor contains a Discretionary Access Control List (DACL) that specify users who are given or denied access. Each user entry is listed with an access mask telling what kind of access is granted or denied.
A data structure that contains security information associated with a protected object. Security descriptors include information about who owns the object, who can access it and in what way, and what types of access will be audited.
