SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES
The SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES
structure represents a security identifier (SID) and its attributes. SIDs are
used to uniquely identify users or groups.
typedef struct _SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES { // saa
PSID Sid;
DWORD
Attributes;
} SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES ;
Members
Sid
Points to a SID
structure.
Attributes
Specifies
attributes of the SID. This value contains up to 32 one-bit flags. Its meaning
depends on the definition and use of the SID.
Remarks
A group is
represented by a SID. SIDs have attributes that indicate whether they are
currently enabled, disabled, or mandatory, and how they are used. A SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES
structure can represent a SID whose attributes change frequently. For example,
it is used to represent groups in the TOKEN_GROUPS structure.
