ADSI AccessControlList Object

An ADSI AccessControlList Object represents an access control list (ACL) that manages one or more ADSI AccessControlEntry Objects. Both discretionary and system ACLs use this object type to manage the ACEs defined on an object. The IADsSecurityDescriptor interface supports several property methods that contain pointers to this type of object.

When to Implement

Implement ADSI AccessControlList Objects when you are providing an Active Directory Service implementation that supports ACLs.

The ADSI SDK comes with a system implementation of this object in the Microsoft-supplied WinNT provider.

Interfaces typically supported on ADSI Directory Object Description
IUnknown Universal COM object management and interface query methods.
IDispatch Automation methods for late-bound access to an object's methods and properties.
IADsAccessControlList ACL management of the ACE list that defines access on a given object.
