ConvertAccessToSecurityDescriptor

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The ConvertAccessToSecurityDescriptor function creates a self-relative security descriptor and initializes it from the specified security information.

DWORD ConvertAccessToSecurityDescriptor(
  PACTRL_ACCESS pAccessList,  
                    // pointer to the access-control information
  PACTRL_AUDIT pAuditList,
                    // pointer to the audit-control information
  LPCTSTR lpOwner,  // name of the object's owner
  LPCTSTR lpGroup,  // name of the object's primary group
  PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR *ppSecDescriptor
                    // receives a pointer to the new security 
                    // descriptor
);
 

Parameters
