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.
