ACL and Trusted Server Access Control APIs Interface Unit

Targets: Win32 only


This unit provides the interface to the Windows Access Controls.

Windows NT version 4.0 provides a new group of high-level access control functions for working with access-control lists (ACLs) and security descriptors. These functions make it easier to create new ACLs or to modify existing ACLs.

An Access-Control List (ACL) contains information that controls access to an object or controls auditing of attempts to access an object. An ACL is an opaque structure that you can attach to the security descriptor of an object.

The ACL structure is the header of an access-control list (ACL). A complete ACL consists of an ACL structure followed by an ordered list of zero or more access-control entries (ACEs).

For more info look the "ACL" and "Security" in WIN32.HLP.
