Remarks
Use this method to retrieve the security information associated with the content item. Enterprise Search results security trimming is applied at query time, so only security for read access to the content item is of interest here.
If you do not implement this method, security trimming is not applied, so the content item can be included in search results for any user's related query.
Security descriptor
emitted by this method must be self relative.
