Remarks

The GetSecurityDescriptor method retrieves the security information associated with the URL item. If you do not implement this method, all user queries can retrieve the item. This method also allows custom mappings between users registered to a content source and those users registered on the domain, if they are different. Security descriptors you create in this method must be self-relative.

Requirements
