Remarks
The SetServiceObjectSecurity
function sets the specified portions of the service object s security
descriptor, based on the information specified in the lpSecurityDescriptor
buffer. This function replaces any or all of the security information
associated with the service object, according to the flags set in the dwSecurityInformation
parameter and subject to the calling process s access rights.
The initial
security descriptor of a service object is created by the service control
manager, based on the security descriptor of the process that called the CreateService
function to create the service. The security descriptor can be changed by
calling the SetServiceObjectSecurity function.
