The AddAccessAllowedAce function adds an access-allowed ACE to an ACL. The access is granted to a specified SID.
An ACE is an access-control entry. An ACL is an access-control list. A SID is a security identifier.
BOOL AddAccessAllowedAce(
| PACL pAcl, | // pointer to access-control list |
| DWORD dwAceRevision, | // ACL revision level |
| DWORD AccessMask, | // access mask |
| PSID pSid | // pointer to security identifier |
| ); |
Parameters
pAcl
Pointer to an ACL structure. This function adds an access-allowed ACE to this ACL. The ACE is in the form of an ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE structure.
dwAceRevision
Specifies the revision level of the ACL being modified. Currently, this value must be ACL_REVISION.
AccessMask
Specifies the mask of access rights to be granted to the specified SID.
pSid
Pointer to the SID structure representing a process being granted access.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The addition of an access-allowed ACE to an ACL is the most common form of ACL modification.
The ACE_HEADER structure placed in the ACE by the AddAccessAllowedAce function specifies a type and size, but provides no inheritance and no ACE flags.
