Security Attributes

5/10/2007

The security attributes contain a structure and associated security information for a securable object. A security descriptor identifies the owner and primary group for the object. It can also contain a discretionary access-control list (ACL) that controls access to the object, and a system ACL that controls the logging of attempts to access the object.

The following table shows the possible values.
